Management was never a promotion

The man who hired me into one of my more recent jobs opened the interview with a question I've never quite managed to forget: why did I want a job I was clearly overqualified for? I don't remember my answer word for word. I do remember thinking it was a perfectly fair question, if you read a CV the way most companies draw their org chart... with management sat on the top and everything else somewhere underneath it. You'll know the shape.
