A lot of people are dunking on this post but none are showing a terminal career path that stays in tech and is something other than:
- Manager of some kind
- Senior IC of some kind
- Independent of some kind
It seems a reasonable breakdown to me, finer grained distinctions do not have the same magnitude of skill and prerequisite knowledge differences.
- ghaff 5y agoIt's a reasonable if very generalized taxonomy--and it captures someone who really wants to be their own boss, someone who wants to manage people, and someone who doesn't really want any of those things. But within those categories, the differences are vast. I've effectively had three rather different 10-ish year careers as an IC (plus one other shorter one that, as planned, I left to go to grad school).
