I would make more as project manager, but I don't want to be on the phone and write mails with clients all day

I would rather set myself on fire than to look at budgets, billable rates, timesheets, or talk to people.

I'm hardore technically aligned, and far enough along in my career (and at a good enough company) that I can turn down opportunities to PM.

Look at this fat cat who can turn down opportunities over here!

Industrial automation

When I was in college I learned I liked the idea of coding a lot more than I liked coding. Now I know just enough C++ to be able to translate dev speak into corporates speak and back, can claim to be an engineer, and get to talk to stupid people, who think they are smart, who think that I'm really smart, and I spend more of my day on social media. I had one job that in the six months I was there I think I actually did MAYBE 40 hours of work. If it wasn't for "business conditions related to COVID-19" I'd probably still work there, though I'm making more, and working somewhat more, now.
