I was a manager/tech lead from 2015-2019, then went back to programming because it was such a pain dealing with underfunded teams.
Programming actually seems to pay better in third world countries, though, as there's a shortage for specific skill sets, as opposed to developers with 20 years experience who can put together a full stack PHP site or build telco systems, but haven't done Angular.
