Thanks for the feedback redbaron, QuickTwist, and Haim. I've decided to give it a try for a few months and see if it fits. I'll supplement my tech skills in another way for the time being. There are a few people skills that I can develop and maybe some better organization skills these pms...

That's great to hear, thanks!

Don't you get repercussions if you just decide outright not to do it? I've always thought of it like - either do it or walk? Is there an elegant way to manage the no then?

So weird situation at work recently - I'm a developer, recently switched to a new job. Our pm is leaving and it takes about 6 months to train a new one. My mgr asked me to take on the pm role until a replacement is found. Your thoughts - is it in any way advantageous (I hate tracking my own...

Haha, I will settle for a comfortable/excessive bottom line =D

Thanks for the great reply. I'm a software developer with 10 years but I just don't think it's really going anywhere. Have huge projects, just streamlined how people create their apps across multiple teams, coding, training workshops, etc. Work nights/weekends, but it doesn't seem to be going...

Hi All - does anyone have any good tips on how INTPs can make bank? How have they been able to maximize their qualities to really have a lucrative career? Thanks!
