From what I observe, it's overcrowded in the traditional managerial space and you'll face much less competition in the technical space. Since this is so new, I would like to seek advise on folks who are already on the specialist track.
I agree. I know a lot of people like this. Although I have different principles (I DO NOT consider managerial posts as the highest possible career peak), I respect their decisions due to, yes, the glamour. THAT i understand, coming from a long line of "corporate slaves."

I don't know... I've come to accept the fact that the majority of career folks here have the tendency to over-rate/over-glorify the managerial job description like it's the closest thing to kingship. And I share your interest to seek advise from people on the specialist track.
