Deciding whether, when and how to make the move from technical roles to management is a serious undertaking. The transition is common among scientists and engineers in industry.
Individuals in technical roles often face limited opportunities for advancement, which can lead to a forced transition into management without the necessary skills or inclination.
A 2008 study highlighted that mid-career engineers feeling 'derailed' often end up as reluctant managers, resulting in reduced job satisfaction and effectiveness.
Consider resources like personality tests and literature to reflect on your values and motivations, ensuring your decision aligns with your long-term career satisfaction.
