Sounds like to you need to find something you are fascinated by and excited to dive into without worrying about things like promotions, your age or the age of other people around you, your dignity, and other things that actually don't matter at all.

When you do find something like that life is joy and you can also become incredibly successful. Maybe management is that thing, but validate that you are really motivated for it and excited for all the hard work it will undoubtedly create for you. Or maybe it's something different.

If you're not sure, try many things, or ask yourself what would that thing be if it wasn't "work".
