The “promotion” to manager just feels weird to me. It sounds like a very drastic change in job scope, duties and responsibilities to the point it’s like changing jobs, and not what I signed up for to begin with.

I would prefer to remain a team member just doing my role and not be the leader who has additional responsibilities.

But I know this is an issue in other industries as well. When you go high up, your days are spend in board rooms and meetings and facing clients, instead of doing what you really enjoy on the ground.
