Comment on Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can?

i got a masters,tried to climb the corporate ladder only to realise,i prefer the quiet life,less responsibility and less stress.

i didn’t want to be a corporate high flyer after trying to. some people will never know until they try and some couldn’t get out because they went with the flow and got stuck.

This. I’m currently a CTO. Planning my next move to be a developer, not management of any kind.

  If you don’t some spare time.
  
  I would love to know how you rose to that position and what the work was like.
  
  Sincerely, A developer who feels the upper rungs on the ladder is a good way to make meaningful change

Same boat. I’m currently a software engineer. Colleagues have joked in the past that I’ll make my way as a manager or something, but the reality is that I’m more than fine remaining in this position the rest of my career. I’m fortunate enough that I’m fine with the money I make. I’m fine with my responsibilities, including the flexibility I have with my time. Not to mention that I enjoy doing actual development type work.

It would have to be a significant amount of money for me to even think about accepting any management roles.

I would entertain a lead type role (lead software engineer or principal software engineer, etc), but management personally is off the table.
