Some excellent advice here already, but I&#x27;ll add a few more. One is to avoid putting development tasks on your own plate that you won&#x27;t be able to complete. Your time is now likely to be taxed at 50% or more meaning you&#x27;ll have a lot of demands on your time for meetings and such and so you&#x27;ll find dev tasks can pile up. Just take on less work for yourself and delegate.<p>The other one is learning how to wield your authority. You&#x27;ll now (hopefully) be invited to or least have visibility into leadership meetings, design reviews, contract reviews, road mapping. Make sure you voice opinions in terms of much time tasks will take, which people are needed, what is feasible&#x2F;infeasible, if you&#x27;re signing up for a mission impossible. Stop saying things are &quot;hard&quot; or &quot;easy&quot; and instead identify &quot;risks&quot;.<p>Notice that almost nobody in this thread is telling you to work on your technical skills :)
