cynthiang-ca-7441		Choosing not to go into management (again) – Learning (Lib)Tech			.html	text/html	1326	108	72	Thankfully at GitLab, in every engineering team including Support, we have two tracks: technical (individual contributor), and management. The management track does continue, and some engineering teams have levels beyond staff for the technical track. Technology companies are probably the best at recognizing that great technical individuals can have as much impact and importance as managers. It also means less time for self-learning and training on technical topics, and I don't feel like I'm done yet. There's still a lot I feel like I can learn and that I can do for the team as an individual contributor. I will definitely be working on a promotion, but until I feel like I could do more for the team by becoming a manager instead of staying an individual contributor, I'd rather stay a senior than become a manager before I feel it's time.	./cache/cynthiang-ca-7441.html	./txt/cynthiang-ca-7441.txt
