Use your current job, if you’re actively hunting already! I don’t mean try to be a manager there - I mean, get their feedback on why they haven’t already made you a manager in your next 1:1.

Your boss may not know you want it, or they know you want it and can provide insight on what you have to do to get there.



I'll second/third this. When I was interested in becoming a manager, I talked to my manager about it and developed a long term plan to make the transition. This included stuff like going through internal company courses on management and incrementally taking on management-type responsibilities and tasks. I ended up changing my mind, but I'd say your manager can be a good resource for making that transition.


Definitely worth chatting with your manager. Sometimes an internal move is all it takes get on a career path you are excited about
