Hi,

I'm currently 30, and have been in the workforce for about 5 years (tech industry, technical role). Currently I'd say I'm doing okay for my age, but I've been thinking about my career. I've changed jobs 2 times in the last 1 year and gotten excellent pay jumps (35%, 28%) each time, but now I'm worried about pricing myself out of the market.
I guess most people would agree that being stuck in a technical role means that there would probably be a (fairly low) ceiling in terms of salary and position; what tips would you offer for me to move into management some time in the future? Has anyone ever managed to move into a management position (in a new company) from a non-management one?

Thanks for reading and certainly welcome any advice!
