Transition

For friends and family who read the blog, and that includes Mac, who has mused on the topic numerous times, I am no longer development, strictly speaking, but management. In two weeks, I switch roles, moving back to a department I've been a part of in the past to take on a role that's sort of on the other side of the fence from where I am now (i.e. I may engage someone in my current role; it just won't be myself). I've enjoyed my current position, but I'm at an interesting crossroads where I have a very good blend of technical skills and organizational/managerial skills. If I ever wanted to transition into a role with a managerial scope in technology, it seemed like the perfect time. It seems at least slightly validating that after six interviews I'm not the only one who thinks so.
