Been a manager for about 8 years, but just coming back to work after having my second child. Managing a household, raising 2 kids under 3 and a team of entitled ICs feels like a lot. I've always enjoyed coaching and building/growing a team but sometimes I think, man my life would be easier if I was an IC and just had my own work to focus on.
Not sure how irreversible of a career hit this would be though. Anyone else make the move from manager to IC?

I initially thought about the title regression impact but then I quickly got over it. It also helps the destination is notorious for title deflation and is a FAANG. The truth is, based on mentors and others I talked to about my situation, that if you want to eventually continue growing as a manager (which I do), once you have a few years of people management under your belt it becomes much easier to pick up again the manager track. I have 5 years of people management experience so I trust that’s enough for me to seek management jobs again in a few years. You have 8, so I think you’re in a good spot
