It’s not unusual to shift between management and individual contributor roles during your career. Now, however, as efficiency-focused companies strip out layers of management and with job security at its lowest ebb, these career decisions are fraught with more risk.

Watch this on-demand webinar to hear from senior ICs and managers who have made the leap. We discuss:

  • Do engineering managers now have to be more hands-on?
  • What are the implications of flatter company hierarchies for both ICs and managers?
  • What should you consider before making the switch?
  • What skillsets do you need to thrive in both roles in 2025?
