Career Path Dilemma
Choosing between being an IC or a manager is a common concern. Each path offers unique opportunities and challenges that can shape your career trajectory.
Roles Defined
Individual contributors focus on mastering their craft and delivering high-quality work, while managers act as orchestrators, guiding teams and ensuring collaboration toward shared goals.
Leadership Across Roles
Leadership is not exclusive to managers. Both ICs and managers can exhibit leadership qualities by influencing and guiding their peers, regardless of their official titles.
Personal Reflection
It's crucial to align your career path with your personal strengths and passions. Consider whether you thrive in the depth of craftsmanship or in orchestrating a team's efforts.
