climbing the career ladder w/ tim cheadle, vp of engineering
guest: tim cheadle, vp of engineering at binti
- a career ladder only works if both manager and employee agree on what success looks like at each level
- vague job descriptions are usually a sign leadership does not know what they actually want from the role
- promotion speed should match impact and risk, not just time served in a title
- for hiring, pattern recognition and real world experience matter more than which school issued the degree
- familiarity with the exact tech stack is a plus but companies with room to train will look past it for strong problem solvers
