1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Does programming ever get tiring? Are you frustrated by being left out of key decisions by the company? You may begin to wonder if you should become a manager. In this episode I'd like to share 5 important considerations before switching from being a programmer to management. It's common advice that &quot;all programmers must become managers eventually&quot;, and I don't agree with this. There are many ways to grow in our career, and management is just one path. However, for some people it may be the perfect next step. I hope this episode helps you know what you're walking into before you take the step to become a manager.
