So, what you're saying is my engineering manager, manager's manager, director, VP, and CTO all still think they can code even though they don't practice it. Enlightening
If they were software developers before, which is not always the case. A lot of VPs, Directors, Managers and even CTOs come from marketing and business backgrounds, which is an absolute disaster for an engineering department.
Congrats! Good advices!
Great insights , Cheers !!
Hey, thanks for these 3 parts and the great insight. My question is what is your take on the importance of academic qualification in order to get to these high-level positions. I have a Bachelor's but have been accepted for a Master's but I wonder if that will make a difference in the long-run for my career? Many thanks!
For the companies I’ve worked at, it didn’t matter.
At Uber, my manager had an arts bachelors degree (he’s now a VP of engineering) and I’ve not seen anyone looking at degrees.
Each company is different: traditional thinking companies place emphasis on these. US tech companies typically care a lot less (especially as many founders are dropouts).
