Although in this case, it's the managing of the project that's onerous, not so much managing the team. Besides, the team just got smaller by one today (20%) so asking for a 15% rise might be not be doable. It's taking 100% of my time now. I haven't fired up an IDE in over a week :( I hear you.

I didn't really like it the last time I did it, and don't really like it now. If you manage a small enough team, you can do techie stuff. My attitude in future is to say "If there is an immediate 15% rise in salary, then yes. Otherwise no" Then at least I'll feel all that boring stuff is compensated. Welcome to management.
