A fundamental problem at most organizations is that if you want more pay, then sooner or later you _must_ be promoted to, or apply for a leadership position.
If you want to keep on working in a 100% technical position, with little to no leadership duties, well, the options tend to be few...if any. So what can you do?
- AstralStorm 4y agoAgain conflating leadership with sales or strategy... MBAs caused a problem in this regard. One can be a leader without managing anyone, strategizing or selling, or making deals, or designing products. It only requires personal qualities and emotional skills, so-called human, personal touch. Ability to engender respect. Rare, I know. Sales sometimes involves that, but is usually more adversarial.
