Driving Your Career

"Driving your career" is the name of a presentation I gave at the "ABI.New York – Women Entrepreneurship & Innovation Summit".

The inspiration for this presentation came from endless conversations I had with women in dev summits around visibility, sponsorship and networking which many of us find intimidating.

But while writing the presentation and consulting with my manager I learned on the three main career stage and was surprised to discover that in each stage we are not aware to the next stage until we are ready to move on to it.

For example: talented developers discover in early stages that they are given tasks to provide architecture, thinking this is the peak of their career, not aware to the great distance between designing a system to a real tech lead that also need to know how to provide right estimations, manage the work distribution and ramp up every new team-member.

With each career stage the responsibility is growing, but so is the impact we have on our customers' life.

Here is the recording of the presentation, I hope you'll enjoy it:
