I'm curious to hear what fellow members of the DEV community think about the typical career ladder for engineers. Personally, I think its odd that we train engineers to be technical individual contributors for years and then have them pivot into roles as managers that

1. they may not want
2. they may not like
3. they may be unfit for

Curious to hear from devs who have been promoted to managers themselves, what kind of training is offered at your company for this transition, or alternatives to this career ladder that maybe would work better?
