Interviews with developers who became managers
The moment I saw this link, I clicked it.  I'm pretty lost for advice at the moment, and hoped this would help.  But it looks like it is just a collection of interviews with people who became managers about what they've learned?One of the quotes on the page was:"Moving from dev to manager is NOT A PROMOTION. It's a CAREER CHANGE."This is what I'm having a problem with.I look at my team, and the entire office is happier than I've seen it in 5 years.  I'm watching people train, and actively grow under my management.  It is incredibly rewarding, and much, much better than before I moved to my current position.But I've also spent the last 9 weeks doing nothing but reading resumes, phone screens, and interviewing candidates.  Staring at an excel spreadsheet mix of engineers I could out-code, great developers I can't afford, internal politics, and emailing recruiters all day, isn't what I went into engineering for.  Being judged on my projected demeanor in meetings, ability to navigate politics, and clear bureaucratic hurdles for my team isn't itself enjoyable... its soul-sucking and stressful.I wake up every morning and don't want to get out of bed.  I've started setting aside a (very) small portion of time for coding, just because I miss it so much.  Ever wake up and realize you are going to spend the first two hours of the day rescheduling meetings... again?But most days, something will happen among the team, where, before I leave, I'll realize "That wouldn't have happened here before you rose up the ranks.  You've made all of these people's lives better." and it'll bounce me back a bit.Your website says that the transition to management is difficult and nuanced, but things like the above are what I need help with.
