(He say's.. whilst smiling with glee, staring at his almost 6 figure salary)
In all seriousness though, it's a good career path, but don't mistake it for your common Engineer, IT Manager. Developer career paths (i.e. Headphones on, hacking away at code or infrastructure).
There is a massive element of social interaction, building relationship with teams and individuals, it requires a lot of patience to effect change and even more effort to bite your tongue!
