Going back & forth…

I was a manager for approx. a year before I quit the job (not the company). My team constituted onshore & offshore. The worst I hate about the job was the politics, specically when managing upwards. I’m not very politically savvy and tend to call a spade “a spade”. My manager/mentor is tremendously politically savvy and does it so well that people (like me) sometimes even don’t realize.

The 2nd worst thing I didn’t like about my job as a manager was JUST managing people & projects ALL the time with no scope for business or product development. I feel if I had a good mix of the two I would enjoy the role.

Once again (after 2 years) I’ve an opportunity to be a manager. I’m struggling in making the decision.
