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.
