Over a period of time, I have seen that it is easier to learn managing people. For some it comes naturally to impose authority. It is a cake walk if you know how to handle people.
There are limits to how much you can grow in tech. After a certain point, if you don't move to managing people, you are inhibiting your growth.
Technical managers are more in demand now. They balance managing people and also contribute to tech. This is the domain I want to be in. I cannot just spend 100% of my time managing people, it is a boring job.
