Individual contributor, i.e. a non-leadership role
- lordfoom 7y agoAh, okay, thank you.
- xxpor 7y agoA non-managerial role* If you're a senior IC and you're not exhibiting leadership in some way you're probably not going to be around for very long.
- heavenlyhash 7y agoI agree with this and thus often find the term "IC" itself unfortunately prone to being misleading.
