I think something many people don’t understand is that the workload and hours go UP as the title goes up. Directors work a ton, and VPs work non-stop. There is a whole storm raging above project-level ICs that mostly goes unseen.
Coming up on 3 years of being an engineering manager, my honest take is that at the FAANG+ level it's difficult to advance your career only working 9-5

The story behind Steve Jobs’ turtleneck ⬇ In 2008, I founded VONROSEN, an online, membership-based fashion label. Three years & one long shot later, Steve Jobs wore one of our sweaters as he unveiled the iCloud at the 2011 WWDC conference. We sold out within a few hours.

Three years after Oregon decriminalized hard drugs, overdoses are up and the streets are full of people smoking fentanyl. Now voters want to repeal the law. on.wsj.com/47fmDXS on.wsj.com/47fmDXS
