Yep, unhealthy interest in personal status rather than in the health and success of the team.
Which would make for a terrible manager.
I'm a couple years away from 50, and "stuck as a developer" and it's fine, and having "young people above me" is no concern. They're team-mates and sometimes friends.
If I eventally make the switch to management, it would be because I got less interested sofware systems and more in team systems.
