lol, you aren't getting a promotion to C level by hanging out in engineering. Best case you'll be some IC that is paid as much as a team lead.

- tock 3y agoI mean ..... yeah. The other path is becoming a manager. But no-one is really being promoted into the C tier.
- frozenport 3y agoYes. You can maybe lead larger projects, and bigger teams, but ultimately its not a path to C suite. Path to C suite in tech is mostly founding, occasionally odd things like board membership, venture capital.
