Episode 25: Why you shouldn't be a manager

Noa Tamir (Data Science Manager) and Raz Shuty (Engineering Manager) share with Alaa Sarhan (IC Fullstack-er) what management is about in general and why an IC (Individual Contributor) is nowadays more than ever empowered to not become a manager for the wrong reasons.

Sneak-peak reasons from the episode:

• Manager role is totally different from a lead IC role
• ICs are paid more than managers
•  Missing short reward cycles, a.k.a "It's not about you anymore"
• and more in our lovely conversation ;)
