Thanks Mithu! That answer really depends on the company culture. Some companies reward and expect individual contributions from those on the IC ladder while others will recognize leadership contributions. I'd encourage the pseudo-manager to discuss this with their manager and understand clearly what's expected and rewarded at their company.
Crisp, clear and to the point, wisdom like this can only come from someone who has traveled through these phases. Thank for sharing authentic real facts !!
Great article, Chaitali! What framework did you use or find helpful to help the pseudo-manager manage competing priorities
between IC contributions and people management?
