Career ladders aren't just changing—they're being demolished and rebuilt in real-time. In this emergency "weather report," Carly and I decode four career dilemmas that have completely flipped in the last six months. We explain why directors are taking IC roles (and thriving), why your Big Tech salary might be a golden trap, when to finally leave that stalled growth company, and why founding is suddenly on everyone's radar. If you're making any career move in 2025, your old playbook will hurt more than help.
The New Career Math:
• Why senior IC roles now trump management positions—and when stepping down is stepping up• The Big Tech paradox: 3x market comp but career stagnation (what's your breaking point?)• Ex-growth company reality: Why staying another month makes things worse• The founding surge: Why 8x more product leaders are starting companies
What's Actually Happening:• How AI and flat orgs killed the traditional ladder (and what replaced it)• What elite companies want now: hands-on builders, not ivory tower managers• The talent gravity effect: Why your coworkers matter more than your title• The "elite middle" strategy: Which companies offer both growth and stability
Your Action Plan:• How to evaluate if you're becoming obsolete (and what to do about it)• The unnatural acts worth taking (hint: it involves a pay cut)• Six-month forecast: Where the opportunities will be and who will win
