The 10 years as an IC is interesting as an issue and sounds like it might be part of what I'm experiencing.
I am definitely trying to work any relationships I have, but unfortunately with my past I have not been able to properly maintain them. I'll definitely keep trying there, though.
Management is interesting option I had not considered. I have lead small teams for short bursts in the past with some success, but haven't been confident about seeking managerial roles with my history. It's definitely something I would consider, though. Assuming my resume is otherwise ok, do you think I might at least have more success getting interviews with those roles?
