Step one: Don't let on to your employers that your nickname is "Tokes", "Spliff-man" or "Super Ganga Smoking Dude"

Poor Tokes... it's just his surname, not a nick :)

The job is overrated. I know - I AM one. The down side to it is that you do much less coding - which eats away at being able to flex your skills. Instead, you spend more time reading, and writing documents, spending time in meetings, etc. If you want to manage, this is the starting line. But if you really love to write code, avoid this at all costs. And dont let the promise of more money force you into it. Being unhappy in your job is not worth the extra cash.
