[quote=Anonymous]Yes, this happened to my DH. He is in middle management now and hates it. The problem is that there's no way to increase your income without going into management. In theory he could have stayed an individual contributor, but then he'd still be making 80-90k as a 50 years old. In DC, with kids, that's a tough situation. He makes twice that but hates his job. Our goal right now is early retirement via a FIRE lite approach from this job and then he can go do what he actually wants. I actually like managing so this isn't an issue for me. I like the logistics of it -- project schedules, tracking progress, figuring out how to prioritize, distribute resources, and find efficiencies. I also actively like training and mentoring people. That's my jam. But I get not everyone feels that way. Someone has to do it though. [/quote]
