Comfort with uncertainty and ambiguity - a necessary skill to reach the top

We know communication, leadership and teamwork are a few critical skills. However, the ability to manage uncertainty and ambiguity is necessary to excel and advance in any profession. As you grow in your career and reach higher positions, you will be dependent on the information available to you.

S/he can better tackle the lack or unavailability of data, and are, therefore, more likely...

What’s for me: Architect or Engineering Manager

Image
As you progress through your engineering career, you face a choice of becoming a Tech Architect or an Engineering Manager. While both career paths are equally rewarding in terms of compensation, at least over the mid-term, an engineer needs to assess his capabilities, and aspirations to choose one of the two career paths. In short, an Engineering Manager has to manage and grow a team, whereas an Architect is predominantly an Individual Contributor (IC) role. So, a Software Engineer w h o doesn’t want to hire, solve problems of, reward and retain people should be considering an Architect career path. On the other hand, if an Engineer has aspirations to manage teams while being comparatively less hands on than an Architect should take the Engineering Manager path.

You may have worked for years and de c ades to achieve or learn something, but if you are unable to communicate those achievements or learning in an articulate way during that one hour, or maybe less, that you get with a stranger across the table, you are simply not going to get the opportunity that you have been yearning for. All those years of hard work might serve you no good if you cannot get your points across in a very short period of time. This does seem unfair, but just like other things in life, it is what is it is. So, regardless of the career path you have chosen, make sure you work harder on your ability to talk ab...
