When you need 1 manager for every ~8-10 ICs, and one 2nd level manager for every ~8-10 first level managers, and so on, the jobs become fewer and further between the higher you go up. Management does not seem like the path of job security to me.
- goobynight 7y agoRight. It's a path to faster financial security though. Realistically, the amount of time it takes for them to find a new VP role is baked into the compensation.
- pmiller2 7y agoIt’s not that simple. Not everybody even gets to be a VP at a company that pays VP level compensation, because there are too few jobs.
