Same boat. I’m currently a software engineer. Colleagues have joked in the past that I’ll make my way as a manager or something, but the reality is that I’m more than fine remaining in this position the rest of my career. I’m fortunate enough that I’m fine with the money I make. I’m fine with my responsibilities, including the flexibility I have with my time. Not to mention that I enjoy doing actual development type work.

It would have to be a significant amount of money for me to even think about accepting any management roles.

I would entertain a lead type role (lead software engineer or principal software engineer, etc), but management personally is off the table.
