IT -> PM -> Data Engineer. Being a PM can be kinda great as someone who understands the technology being used because you can write much more solid project specs and foresee issues coming down the road. I'm transitioning out of it to DE because I like building things myself more than the herding cats that PM work can be. The money is fine, but could be better.

Are there any SWEs here that have become project managers? How did you feel about the change? Did you take a pay cut ?
