I’ve been a senior PM for about 5years now. Im well paid and work for a well known tech company. I think a lot about my career and im just not sure I want to be a manager. Looking at GPMs and Directors in company, their working life seems grim. They seem stressed and overworked, their diaries are horrendous and they work early and late all the time.

I quite like being a SPM. I work on challenging problems and I like testing and shipping stuff, but I do realise that I can’t be a SPM for the rest of my life and that for some reason that looks really bad on my CV. I realise that I will age out and have to become a manager at some stage - but do I really have to?

I’ll probably get accused of having a lack of ambition but it’s not that I just really like this role and all that it entails. Does anyone else feel the same.

My whoop used to guess the activity correct especially after I told it many times what activity I do (badminton) but now it keeps auto tagging my activity as squash. It’s so frustrating as I have never played squash in my life and never will - you would think whoop would just start to guess badminton more and more over time instead of trying to think that I want to start a new sport twice a week.

Is there any way to fix this?
