I'm curious how the numbers work out at the higher levels. As I understand it, and I may be wrong so please correct me if you know better, at places such as Google there are separate manager and IC tracks however at top levels there's more managers then ICs. So it's essentially easier to become a top level manager than a top level IC.
- humanrebar 7y agoIt also doesn't help that they don't have definitions of what top ICs do. Managers are in charge of a definite budget and a definite number of employees. What does the IC have responsibility and authority over? Do they absolutely get to make certain technical choices? How? Which ones? What happens when the right technical decision has impact on how budget and employees are allocated?
