What career path are you considering in the future: a specialized technical activity or project and team management?

The choice between specialized technical work and project and team management depends on personal interests and career goals.

If you enjoy delving deeply into technologies, solving complex technical problems, and continuously developing as an expert — you should consider a technical path, such as becoming a lead developer or architect.

If you are attracted to organizing work, managing people, coordinating processes, and achieving goals through a team — you can aim for roles like project manager, team lead, or department head.

Often, a flexible path is possible in practice: initially deepening technical skills, and then gradually transitioning to management while maintaining technical expertise for more effective leadership.
