"I" needs to decided between these two options:
a) stay in the current position of team leader of a development/engineering group which is slowly growing (6-7 people now), reporting to Director of Research and Development (which has a team of about 20 people, so "I" is responsible for about one third of the R&D group)
b) take on a product manager role for a product platform accounting for about 75% of company revenue, reporting to Director of Research and Development, and working with other product managers of specific products (about 3); "I" would be at a higher level for the entire platform, but not having anyone reporting directly to him.
"I" enjoys working in the lab and thinkering with stuff, so he would get more satisfaction from option "a" on the other hand he would be interracting with more customers/government agencies in position "b" and will also be aligible for "bonus" at the end of the year.
what would "you" do?
