Any tips from folks on hour to survive a dysfunctional tech company besides “just quit”? Mine are to work as efficiently as possible to try to pay myself back. I also adopted the subtle art of not giving a f. Just to accept and embrace the chaos.

Just try to foster the technologies you would want to have experience in for your next employment endeavors. Even if those technologies are not super relevant for your project and look like overengineering.
Then you would tell your next employer how you adopted the new technology and it helped the project by XX percent.

Good tip!

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE. My manager thinks the best next step for me is to move into management and leadership and has started pushing me to apply for an engineering manager role. They say that I will be a good fit because of my strong technical background paired with the leadership and people skills I display currently.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?
