It's also rudimentary to think in binary that you can either be a programmer or a manager. Progressing in my career i am finding this duality to be incredibly constricting, I excel best at programming, machine learning & working with business, product teams in finding areas of highest impact and then executing with smallish teams but i am increasingly finding that this doesn't fit into most corporate structures and i find resistance in landing the right role.
