From the general direction: the future of programmers can not be technology and management, I believe many people do not have a clear positioning of the future is to do technology and management, but the social background will let a lot of people want to give up the boring technology and to pursue the surface of the management, but before we should think clearly the difference between the two, If you think about it, don't retreat from the difficulties encountered in the transition.
- Not everyone is suitable for management. Technology and management are two completely different areas. Technology does well, not necessarily management can do well. For many programmers, it is much easier to communicate with machines than to communicate with others. Also depends on personal personality, but I can not say that I am suitable for management. Can only say, there is nothing it!
- The manager is on the surface. In fact, you have to understand: how much power, responsibility (and pressure) is also how big. Managers face assorted a lot of problems every day, it is difficult to concentrate, mindedly only do what they like. If you are pursuing simple pleasures, being a programmer will make you more satisfied.
- The way of thinking requires a great change. As a manager, your role is to help the team succeed, and your success will depend on the team. A manager with no team to fail and a very successful individual.
- Know the technology manager is very advantageous, but from the technology to the management change process "pit" also many. Technology focuses on the details, and management needs to be bigger picture. This is particularly difficult for many people to grasp.
- Don't give up writing code easily. Because from the technology to the management process, there is a period of crisis. Do not neglect the technology, management ability is not strong enough, at this time if the company made some changes, you will be very difficult to find an ideal job. Find a good job, strength is on the one hand, luck is also very important.
