Software Development Manager III
Software Development Manager III
Super smart people and the freedom to work on tough engineering problems.
Chaotic and frequently confrontational. Unless you get very aggressive about your own career growth, others who are less competent but appear to be retention risks will pass you by. Different orgs seem to have a different bar for promotions, and it seems to be driven by the level of desperation in retaining talent in a particular org rather than a pure merit-based system.
Focus on training your managers in aspects of people management in addition to product/project management.

I received an email from the recruiter, followed by an automatic email inviting me to complete an online assessment. I am still waiting for the results and do not know if they will call me.
