IMO, 2-3 years is too soon. You might be pigeon-holed as a manager for future jobs. I guess you can always craft a resume to emphasize your hands-on technical experience though.

Maybe management is what you want? If so go for it. But your tone suggests you have reservations about this, so I'd suggest you ask to remain engineer and then after 5-10 years doing that, re-evaluate your desire for management.

Also, I'd be inherently skeptical of a place that moves you to management after 2 years of experience. That means they generally have non-technical managers. I think managers should be the senior engineers who also have people skills and like managing.
