Women, help me understand why this is inspirational
I see VP of products and VP engineering. How do I become one? Seems easy just schedule meetings every couple months with your suboordinates and talk using keywords like teamwork, touch base, raising the bar, best practice, paradigm shift, empower, think outside the box, synergy, MVP, products, accelerate, launch, global, world, prioritize, pivot, ideation, action plan, decisioning.
Lol...if that is the case all senior level jobs are as easy as you mentioned...being responsible for a larger impact is a high pressure game...you get paid for taking decisions and enforcing best practices...you get paid for making strategy to run the show...all that is could be easy at times and could be extremely tough...every software developer considers his coding job as the only thing required to run the company..but the fact is management is important too...
Yes I do fuck
Right, management is important. Let's make engineers work all weekends this month so we show them how hard working we can be!
How’d you know
I've been known to fuck myself.
You are on the right track
Congrats, my friend. You are now ready to be the VP. Don't forget one more point, you also have to make sure you are getting paid insanely well and let the guys who do the actual work, fight for peanuts when appraisal time hits
Join BOFA, everyone is a VP there
There are many paths to become one. Here are some I can think of: (1) join a growth company early and grow with it, (2) become employee of a big company as part of startup acquisition, (3) become friends with many VPs and suck up to them (and others whom they know), (4) do MBA from a top school and join as a high level director in a big company division and grow from there. (5) It is also possible to become a VP by getting promotions starting from an SDE (Satya Nadella for example), but that path is slow, unreliable and requires a lot of luck.
If you think the work of a VP is only what you see (as an employee), then maybe you shouldn’t be a VP.
Sounds like a Yelp vp lol
The original poster wanted to just have some fun and looks like he is having a lot...
You figured it out!
