I have a good friend at the Fortune 100 company we work for who move into engineering management. He hated it. Unfortunately, he was very good at it so it took years for him to convince them to let him move back to an IC role. Even after that, they kept looking to him to make management level decisions, which he had to flat out refuse to do until they finally learned that he really was an IC again. It was so much stress trying to get back into an IC role that he has been looking for new jobs outside the company.
