There’s nothing wrong with that at all. I’ve often thought it’s insane that our industry says “ok you’re really good at writing code, now let’s see if you can manage people.” They’re extremely different, almost mutually antagonistic skill sets. A whole lot of people are good at writing code because they don’t want to deal with other people.

You’re making plenty good money I assume. You can take that money and invest it and make more that way. Your income is not capped even if your salary is.

If you make good money, have a good quality of life, and like what you do you don’t really have to think beyond that at all. But if you want to think beyond that, there are other options.
