I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

What’s a consultant profile?

Technical solutions consultant.

It just switch to a firm that pays better. It’s not the army where you are bound to one structure

Do whatever it takes. Fake it til you make it. At the end of the day, you have to walk the talk and produce results.

Frame your resume for the role you want. I was an IC for a year and a half at one company and now I’m a manager at another.

We plan on having kids within the next year or two, and it’s highly u likely that she’ll be able to keep her current gig. We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?
