It’s not unusual to shift between management and individual contributor roles during your career. Now, however, as efficiency-focused companies strip out layers of management and with job security at its lowest ebb, these career decisions are fraught with more risk.

Join us for our upcoming webinar to hear from senior ICs and managers who have made the leap. What we will discuss:

  • Do engineering managers now have to be more hands-on?
  • What are the implications of flatter company hierarchies for both ICs and managers?
  • What should you consider before making the switch?
  • What skillsets do you need to thrive in both roles in 2025?
