Course Overview

As an engineer, your skills are incredibly important, but at the end of the day, they are meaningless if you can't find the right team and overall environment in which to put them to use. This is why being able to choose a proper company and team for every stage of your career is one of the highest (if not the highest) leverage things you can do in your career.

Now here's the big problem - The vast majority of tech companies and teams are terrible. Even at top companies like FAANG, there are tons of teams that are awful for your growth. This course is here to help you slice through all the noise and identify truly stellar teams where you can thrive. After going through it, you will:

  • 🧭 Know the main framework you should follow to make the best career decisions
  • ❌ Learn both what is commonly overrated and commonly underrated by engineers when it comes to career priorities
  • 💡 Understand the pros and cons of working for Big Tech
  • 🚀 Get insight into what unique career benefits startups can offer, especially those that are inaccessible at Big Tech
  • 🔍 Have concrete tactics to get information on what a team is actually like
