It should net you 5-6% a year compounded over the long-run.
- Engineering and Management are very different. When writing code, there's an obvious end goal. There is no such end goal in Management. Your job is to remove obstacles to allow other people to do their best work.
- Get used to interruptions. your job will be interruption-driven. When coding, you want as much heads-down time as possible. In Management, you will be interrupted as problems come up and people look to you for solutions. And these problems dont always have obvious solutions as they are people problems.
- You will code less. Get used to giving up the "interesting" parts of the codebase to engineers. Your role now is not to code, but to provide the right environment to allow other people to be happy and productive.
- Learn how to give feedback. Different people on your team will take your feedback in different ways. You may have to be direct with some people, and more delicate with others. You have to learn how these people react to different types of feedback and deliver news appropriately.
- Understand who on your team is a "superstar" (a person wants to work on latest code, wants to move up the corporate ladder, may only be on your team for a year), and who on your team is a rockstar (the "rock" of your team, someone who doesn't want to move up because they are perfectly happy doing what they are doing). One is not better than the other. People switch between one and the other in different stages of their lives. You have to treat them appropriately in terms of projects, feedback, expectations.
One of the books that helped me a lot was Radical Candor https://www.radicalcandor.com/
I'm an Engineering Manager at SoundHound. We've raised $75 Million from NVIDIA, Samsung, KP and others to take on Amazon and Google in AI with our "Collective AI" Houndify platform. Our open Houndify platform has the world’s fastest speech recognition and most sophisticated natural language understanding. We've had a lot of interest from partners and there are a LOT of really interesting projects being worked on requiring complex problem solvers who can work well independently. Things have come a long way since our leaked demo video took top spot on Reddit a while back:

It only shows remote jobs, and you can search by selecting certain categories that youre interested in.
I built it myself, but it's based on Bootstrap. I'll ping you over email sometime to chat. :)
I was helping a family member look for a job recently and spent a lot of time on job sites. Instead of focusing on just his city (where opportunities were limited) we eventually started looking at remote jobs to broaden his search.
It quickly became obvious to me that there aren't too many good ways to search for remote listings around the world. This sucks for both remote employers and remote workers.
To solve this problem, I spent a few long nights building out Remote Job Lists. It aggregates listings across the internet, categorizes them smartly using Machine Learning, and makes it easy to search for a position that is interesting to you.

- how much runway they have? - how much have they raised so far? - what is the attrition rate?
That should give you a decent picture of the health of the company.
Use React Component State if no other component cares about the data.
If I was a database administrator, then it's a fair question. But if I was asked this for a full-stack web engineering role, I'd consider it a little unfair.
Classic example is bowling bouncers followed by a fuller delivery. In this case, just throwing a yorker on the bowling machine would probably not get the batsman out.
