I just read something along the same lines on the way to work this morning:
https://medium.com/code-like-a-girl/why-i-left-management-the-engineer…
The author was in a similar spot, and chose to go back to the tech track.
Her takeaways were:
What gives you energy and what drains you?
How do you feel accomplishment?
What drives and excites you?
Answering those three questions honestly will give you a better idea on what kind a role would best fit you.
