Unironically, this happens a lot on the tech world. There's a problem where a lot of programmers/tech engineers ended up becoming managers due more out of the career than what he want to do.
On a lot of older fields like Civil, Electrical, Mechanical... you can find Engineers getting paid more than their managers due expertise and experience but in tech, you rarely have a progression after Senior Programmer, so you have to become an white-collar worker to get a better pay and do something outside of what you want

@kumicota@akkoma.kumicota.moe @feld@friedcheese.us it’s a broader issue where management is often times the only path foreword for raises and responsibility at corporate. Where I work managers still do the job they manage people for and raises are completely separate for being a manager. There is a guy on my team who has been there 5 years longer than my manager and is paid more because of it. My manager just likes managing people.
