That's exactly the point. The expectation is that techies stop being techies if want to have a career.

This is exactly why we can't innovate in Europe.

I hate to break it to you, but this also happens in the US - especially at huge companies.

The next step of my career progression at my current company is deciding whether I want to go into the continuing tech route as an architect or staff software engineer or if I want to go into the managerial / people leader route.

The later is quite more lucrative, but I would have to stop programming.
