From Manager to Lead Analyst: Why This Is Not a Downgrade, but a Conscious Step in Development

Many perceive the transition from a management position to an expert position as a step backwards. In my talk, I will explain why my transition from a manager to a leading analyst is not a downgrade, but a conscious choice that opened up new opportunities for professional growth. 

I will tell: 

• Why I decided to change roles and how I assessed risks. 
• In what cases such a transition can be useful. 
• How managerial experience can be applied in analysis. 
• What advantages come from combining expertise with a management background. 

• Faced with a choice: management or expertise. 
• Want to use management experience in individual work. 
• Believe that changing roles always means moving down.
