Someone had asked me this about being a manager:
Once you've worked as an engineer, working your way through senior levels and then becoming a manager, what happens if you find yourself laid off?
I want to generalize this from being laid off to switching careers.
- Are there even manager roles?
- Should I go back to being an IC?
- Aren't most managers promoted internally?
Let's discuss! I'll share my experiences and I'd love for you to come with YOURS!
As with all livestreams, I'm looking forward to answering YOUR questions! So join me live and ask in the chat, or you can comment now and I can try to get it answered while I stream.
