Comment on Any recommendations for a career change?
thefloweracidic@lemmy.world 11 months agoNo I don’t want to be in management. I just enjoy talking to people and making genuine connections instead lip service fueled networking. This isn’t a self assessment either, its something I’ve been told enough to believe it.

I can certainly symphatise. I’ve been pushed to temporarily take management roles, either client-facing or reporting directly to a C-level. Been encouraged by the team to take on the roles permanently.
What they don’t see is how mentally exhausting it is to actually shield the team from the BS on the other side, when you genuinely care about the people in your team. Yeah, I could use the money, but I don’t trust myself to not act on the homicidal thoughts that pop up once in a while during those times…
