How about management? Do you enjoy managing people? Do you enjoy making engineering processes more efficient? Do you like to have a broad view of the work being done by a team and a hand in prioritizing that work? Are you fascinated by organizational structure? Are you good at partnering with product managers? Are you willing to exchange depth of focus into technology details for focus on the effectiveness of the overall team? Would you rather sit in a roadmap-planning meeting than an architecture review? You’re probably more interested in following the VP of Engineering path.
