Product Design Director to IC

Question

Has anyone gone through this? As a director I really miss the creating and active collaboration as an individual contributor. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts. Thanks

I wanted to focus more on developing my skillset and chose this path. Although I miss the managerial aspect and motivating teams to deliver, I am in full control of my calendar and my work. Less talking, more doing 😋

Haven't done that transition but I could see why it's appealing. What parts of management don't you like about it? Maybe it's just my company but I feel like my managers/directors have quite a lot of input into actual design contributions
