Where do you want to develop — technically or more in management?

The choice between a technical and managerial career depends on your interests and strengths. If you enjoy delving deeply into technologies, solving complex problems, and creating architecture, it is worth developing in the technical field — becoming an expert, architect, or technical leader.

If you are interested in organizing team work, planning projects, interacting with different departments, and managing people, then management is the right path. In practice, it is often possible to combine both directions, for example, being a technical leader who codes and manages a team.

It is important to honestly assess your preferences and strengths, as well as to think about what brings more satisfaction in work.
