From Senior Developer to Manager and Back: The Journey of Returning to Coding
Location Google for Startups Campus Warsaw, Plac Konesera 10, 03-736 Warsaw
You're working as a developer, and one day - BAM, you're offered the chance to lead a team, to step into a managerial or leadership position.
What now? If I accept the offer, will I forget how to code? Will my skills depreciate? Is there a way back to a specialist path? Can I really be a "manager by day, developer by night"? Will I still be a technical person?
I've been at this point! At Atlassian, I undertook an experiment and moved from a senior developer position to a manager role for 15 months... and then I went back to coding.
Will my experience help you make a decision if you're facing one - I don't know. But it will be food for thought :slightly_smiling_face:
