Congrats!

An old saying,

People get promoted to their level of incompetence, then stay there.

I hope you get many more promotions.

That makes it self limiting. Know when to turn down the next promotion.
I did that 30 years ago and never regretted it.

I read from another forum that said "A good engineer was promoted and became a BAD manager". Knowing when to turn down a promotion is always a wise move.

Yes, that is what almost happened to me. I was offered a promotion? to a manager's position but I turned it down. I would have made a lousy manager but preferred to remain a good engineer, I think.

Congratulations, happyganl! I hope you wanted this promotion, otherwise, as the other guys say, it might not be for the best.

Best wishes to your family!

I am a lousy engieer. Doing technical job let me down. I quited this field for maybe 4+years,except this ,I feel good to current company. So I do other job without change job
