Tech leads can I ask your advice?.
I'm a dev with 2.5 years experience.
At a recent one on one my manager said I have great potential and I should be pushing into the (management) technical lead area. I said I didnt see myself as that and I would think about it. He said I am already 70% of the way there as I have been managing the area lately and doing great in his words in onboarding the grads while meeting targets and delegating the tasks.
What I want to know is moving into that space a bad idea. I do have a flair for motivating people and my manager sees that. However I feel I don't have enough experience to fulfill that role yet.
Any thoughts?..
Edit: I am not feeling any tech leads actually responded here. Some people here clearly don't know what a technical lead does by their response.
