A sign in someone's career, that I always take as a big positive: having been a manager, then went back to being an IC.
They are almost always more efficient, having been on "the other side". Often can be great partners to managers and know their reasons on "why not management."

Pro tip on diff’ing between PDFs
Useful tip:
If this is your 1st time ramping up on the company, read the business overview section whole.
If not, use a tool like FileMerge/opendiff to quickly find what’s changed since last year (hopefully, not much).
If you can't bash but got $20K to drop, get a Bloomberg.
