Have you ever wondered about career development opportunities beyond reaching the Senior Developer level?
Is it the end of the road for a technical person or just the beginning of a long journey?

What are the possibilities, how do they do it elsewhere (Google, Amazon, Microsoft), what skills do you need, and what do you need to focus on to achieve it?

In this presentation, I focus on the transition toward Engineering Management, drawing on my personal experience to highlight common pitfalls and hidden challenges of stepping into Tech Lead, Architect, or Managerial roles. And most importantly, how to avoid them. You'll learn what to expect, how to prepare, and how to know if it's really for you.
I'll talk about things no one told me about, and I had to figure them out myself over the years. And I would give a lot to know them earlier.

Whether you're a Junior exploring possibilities or a Senior unsure what’s next, this talk offers a rare, unfiltered view into the mental, emotional, and strategic shift required to grow your impact, without losing yourself in the process.
