If you are an Engineering Manager and it doesn't feel right, then it probably isn't. Sometimes it is just growing pains or transitional anxiety, but if that continues and you find yourself unenergized and unmotivated by your work then it might be time to slip back into some old habits. It is okay to try the role for a while then transition out if that is what works for you. Hopefully you'll learn some new skills along the way. The transition back to Individual Contributor is more common than you think and if it feels like the right move, chances are it just might be.
