"I felt like there was some missing piece of the practical world."
Moving from a Single Contributor (IC) role to a Leadership position is hard. You can read all the books and take the theoretical courses, but without immediate practical application, it's just noise.

"The curriculum is crafted for working professionals... busy day in, day out."
Most leadership courses force you into rigid time zones or academic schedules that don't fit a CTO's life. Worse, they teach pure business without understanding the tech reality.

Tech leadership in 2025 feels a lot like stepping into the Upside Down.
AI is reshaping how teams build.
Org structures that once worked are collapsing.
Market expectations change faster than roadmaps can adjust.
Old playbooks? They simply don’t work anymore.

Layoff Resilience = P&L + AI + Platforms
Layoff resilience is not simply “be a manager.” In 2024–25, some firms thinned middle layers. Resilience flows to roles that either (a) create revenue/cost leverage or (b) run mission‑critical systems.

Is the management track actually right for you? Or should you stay a Senior Technologist?
Don't spend 15 or 20 years climbing the ladder just to realize you climbed the wrong wall.
