easy answer :D , joining a new "old" company in 2 weeks from now, it just happens that I will be a colleague with Dean once more and I am really looking forward to it ;)

But if you ask me, what about in 5 years?  i would prefer to continue improving as an engineer, but I have many friends who are older  and more experienced than me who are moving to management positions even as managers or PM and to be honest sometimes i am thinking, so in 10 years from now I will be one of them? will I become the PM I hate? :D

Exactly... do we become the "less technical" guy at some point in the future? Even if we wanted to keep up with all the technology, we wouldn't be able to as PMs or managers, due to the demands of those roles.

Somewhere that embraces orchestration and automation the proper way. 

I recently switched jobs 2 months ago from a large enterprise to a reseller / var.  Its a way better pace of technology.  I cant see myself ever going back to the enterprise or end user way of IT.  I no longer have to sit on the daily meetings about things.  Everything is purely technical.

I am currently learning the software side of things and agile developement and trying to get into this network devops side of the world.  Everything makes sense its funny it took so long for most network people to get in this realm of thinking. I even grew a beard...... im devops ready haha.

You're just a pair of suspenders and Birkenstocks away from being a Unix admin.

welcome to the dark side :) I'm not doing anywhere as much automation/orchestration as I'd like, but similarly, I can't see myself going back to the customer/in-house Enterprise side of the fence. As you say, consultancy/VAR/vendor-land is where the technical action is.

Within the next 5 years I would say doing what I am doing now just for someone else if it came to that.
