Career Strategy with an Ex-Apple Manager
Ex-Apple Engineering Manager
About this session
Stop navigating career crossroads through trial and error.
Over 15+ years in high-stakes tech—including 10+ years at Apple growing from individual contributor to engineering manager—I’ve seen what actually drives promotions, high-comp offers, and sustainable career pivots across industries.
What we can tackle in this session:
- IC to Engineering Manager: Navigating the transition, team dynamics, and managerial evaluation.
- Breaking the Plateau: Strategizing your next level (Senior, Staff, Principal, or Management).
- Big Tech & US Career Navigation: Resume positioning, interview war-rooms, and compensation negotiation strategies.
- Cross-Industry & Entrepreneurial Transitions: Deciding when to stay in corporate vs. when to start a venture or switch domains.
Who this is for: Engineers, tech leads, and managers looking for unvarnished, battle-tested counsel from someone who sat on the hiring and leadership tables at Apple and has direct experience in various industries.
