I have had management opportunities where i was managing 4-8 person projects and I absolutely didn't enjoy it, most of the time i felt like i could do a better job, and i sucked at giving back criticism. and the main reason was i just couldn't go to work for a day where i could just sit in peace, put on headphones and lose my self coding im always distracted by people and assigning tasks.

I think part of my current motivation to move away might be my lack of ambition and outlook for what i want to do future career wise, im still relatively young with only 5 years of experience. Money is nice, but it's never been the main issue for me. I do find myself feeling jealous of my friends who are full stack developers because their jobs always drive them into new technologies, whereas i spent the last 3 weeks writing a driver for an SPI flash controller.

Thanks for the pointers though, you might be right, there might be other factors that are driving me into this thought process that i need to reflect on.

Hi, this reply is completely irrelevant to the subject matter, but i couldn't directly send you a message so this is my only option. quite a while back in a topic regarding bitgrail losing 170m you submitted a link to the bitgrail trollbox chat log in here

but unfortunately the link no longer has file, is there any chance you still have the chat log? i would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks
