Ask HN: How do I “make the switch” towards becoming a director or VP
7 by primordialsoup | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I have been reasonably successful by some standards at a big tech company, but don't quite think I could ever become a Director or a VP, given the rate at which I am progressing --- it is linear with time, which is not sufficient; I would like to aspire better. I am wondering what kind of things I need to switch about myself and about how I do things. There is the people aspect, and then there is technical aspect. Any thoughts on both of these? Are people willing to share how they overcame similar challenges and "made the switch"?
