Kyle started off as a coder but got bored and uninterested in it, so he decided to become what many aspire to be, a manager. After about 10 years as a manager, he got bored and uninterested in being a manager. At that time his company had an opportunity to help open up a branch in Canada. He took this challenge but after the expansion he decided to be an individual contributor again. He felt that he was missing out on advancements in the coding field and wanted to get his hands wet in it again. Kyle went from being a software engineer to a manager and back to being an individual contributor. He chose this pathway based on his interests and learning capabilities.
This inspirational story supports those that want to be and do what keeps them most interested. Many people out there feel that being a manager depicts seniority because most people aspire to becoming one. One should not be looked down upon if they do not aspire to become one or decide later on that it is not for them. It takes strength and a test of one’s intelligence to be able to get away with doing what they love and blaze a path that is unique to themselves. People would be curious of why one doesn’t want to be a manger and would think that they are not worthy or not good at being a manager or got demoted. The takeaway is do what you love and are good at. Put other things that don’t interest you on the back burner and don’t let what others thing sway you from what you feel is right for you.
