Software Engineering Manager
Dead end as a SDET software engineering manager?
It seems that as a sw engineering Manager for test and QA there are senior and director positions but they all have and responsibilities and pay the same.
It feels like a dead end. There's no growth after that.
I don't know what to do at this point.
Current title - senior engineering manager of test
Base pay equivalent to senior or staff sw developer
Yoe :12
Would appreciate any advice. Feel like going back to sw dev, means I'll compete with fresh talent and can't find a way out.

In my team, we had multiple folks at this crossroad. They successfully transitioned into a dev manager role by unskiling themselves. All the best !

You mean by upskiling themselves ?
