I don't think this is a bad thing. Someone overseeing the teams that build the things you sell. Product Management was never purely about "tech" and if companies were treating it so, of course, they didn't see the value of the role. Which created an insane swirl in the community. This helps scale our organizations effectively.

Many engineering managers first transition into their roles as former individual contributors. This is especially true for new EMs, who often previously worked as software engineers or developers before being promoted. EMs are no longer only responsible for themselves and their own workload, like the ICs on their teams.
