I was one of those Treehouse managers and I voted for it. Still very happy that I did. :)

what were the pros / cons from your perspective?

What does your role at the company pivot into?

It's really not as different as everyone is assuming. Fewer meetings, which is good. :) I wasn't demoted, everyone else was promoted, in a way. Anyone can be a leader. So I'm still leading, it's just on smaller teams and on more focused projects that change more frequently. I'm better able to apply my talents where they're needed from day to day.

Sounds like a challenging and rewarding transition :}
