This!

I went from being a hobbyist dev -> leading a team at a large tech company. The biggest learning I had to do was around writing code with others. It’s one thing to be good at writing code/making a project. It’s another to write code others can understand and work in a project with multiple devs.

I’d definitely recommend finding some open source projects and contributing to them.

The other thing to take into mind is that while you may be newer to team based development most likely if you’ve been working for X number of years you’re not new to working with teams. A lot of the same skills apply.
