Looking to join a company with good career growth. Folks at Stripe, do you see ample opportunity to move from engineering to management given you perform well?
Management is a separate ladder and not a promotion from engineering. You can switch between IC and management, but you’ll need to reinterview for it. My understanding is the management interview loop is pretty difficult.

Stop looking at management as a promotion. It’s just a different track. Not everyone should go there, but you can still grow and outpace some people on that track.

I see, thanks. So Stripe mostly hires EMs from the outside?
