If your managers have never done this then you should probably be asking why? And I would look to see if you could be the reason rather than them. | |

| Sep 11, 2012 at 15:25 | comment | added | MrFox | @Chad manager is an overloaded term. Most of my managers were 'status reporters' with responsibilities but insufficient power to actually inflict change. In that sense, architects had more power in the organization. I imagine that everyone in IT eventually hopes to be in position where they can, in their golden age, use their experience for 'bigger things'. At the same time, I despair at the thought of having to push numbers in excel to get there. | |

| Sep 10, 2012 at 20:55 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | So you do not want to be a manager but you do not like that if you go the Architect route you can not be a manager? There are positions you can move into from the architect role. And I have seen managers promoted from the architect role. | |

| Sep 10, 2012 at 19:48 | comment | added | MrFox | @JeffO perhaps I didn't word it right. By "getting on in life" I meant make more money / have better working conditions. | |
| Sep 10, 2012 at 19:46 | comment | added | user8365 | Your assumption about getting out of programming because of age is not accurate. | |
