How do I get into management? Serious question
Here's my stats
>26
>extremely good grade in economics/CS Frankenstein degree
>currently senior dev with a few more responsibilities but nothing you could call real management
>autistically good on an engineering level, and been doing senior level dev for almost 4 years now, total job experience is like 6 years
>outside of work some really tiny open source projects
That's about it
My current job is comfy and paying well, but it's not "retire before retirement age tier" and I'm getting the career ladder itch.
What do?
>>
>>106466536
>should I pivot
you should outsource your core competencies, and near-shore some tangible assets or tertiary processes, or maybe both

>>106466718
>It obviously does
honest to god question, middle management is hell on earth, and these people, usually not IT based, are making money comparable to mid+/-senior positions. Also, a lot of IT guys are making uuuuge money just simply getting a higher position as a dev. There are some salary ranges available only to trusted employees.
>>
>>106466813
Define middle management, I've yet to see a company where middle management earns less than basic senior devs unless you're talking about some star devs in meme fields like ML.
I DONT mean product owners, that's not management IMO
>>
>>106466854
Just to clarify, for me middle management means everything team lead and above, or squad/department lead and below.
So basically people responsible for 5-30 people
>>
>>106466900
>So basically people responsible for 30+ people
yeah those are making dosh, I have no idea how to get there or how to help you son. I suppose, get lucky with a small company that will be shooting up the stars, and you are one of the OG squad, basically glorified nepotism.

"agentic" is not a word but "agent-based" would be a valid if ultimately useless phrase. really what makes "agentic" so egregious is that EVERYTHING is an agent. just saying that there is an agent involved is meaningless; if there was no agent, there would be no workflow. if anything, you are admitting that you, the coooooder are not an agent and do not have any influence on any process.

just call it what it is, "AI(-based) workflow". it's just a weasel word to get out of getting laughed at for leaning on AI slop, except also a self-own since it basically means "I outsourced it and didn't do anything myself" taken more literally

>>106467278
shes just a higher caste who (rightfully) views the lower ones as slaves. shes still gonna scam you and everyone around you regardless
>>
>>106467278
Also dating an Indian woman, but I'm the techfag. We have discussed the growing resentment of the American workforce to Indian offshoring particularly in the tech field. Its hilarious because she has family in the US that are forced to utilize offshore workers and they say they hate working with them because they can't get shit done and are lazy.
>>
>>106467336
>rightfully

>>
>>106467336
I'm an asshole so whenever I hear the word "agentic" I MAKE people explain to me exactly what the agentic portion of this LLM pipeline is. Is it the ability to call tools if you have the LLM return JSON? Is it the ability for the LLM to chain together multiple calls until it completes a task?

Make the fags who use the word "agentic" make it very clear.

>shes just a higher caste who (rightfully) views the lower ones as slaves. shes still gonna scam you and everyone around you regardless

I actually did explain to her how Indian culture is basically just a big line of people shitting upstream from another (scamming) and she couldn't stop laughing.

Dude, my dad is an Indian immigrant who came to the USA in the early 90s. I remember growing up, the times I would hear my dad yelling the loudest was when he would be on the phone arguing with some Indian retard.
