Remember the old piece of wisdom which says "Be careful what you ask for. You just might get it." In my fourth IT positon I managed a start-up department for eleven years, and learned that I would never do that again. Of course this subjects you to the risk of having managers who are incompetant or just simply jerks.

If you do a half-assed job of things, folks will ask 'why did this ass only do half the job?'
