This repo exists because I am frequently asked:
What do I need to know to be an X?
How can I become a Y?
I want to help people advance their careers in Tech with a better than random-luck strategy.
I would like to achieve a few things with this repo:
- share my perspective as a bookmarkable & forkable resource
- incorporate feedback from colleagues who are trying to do the same
This approach intends to provide a curated path to a role that is achievable by someone who is working towards a promotion from one level to another as well as transitioning from one type of role to another, e.g. individual contributor <-> manager.
This repo will not:
- provide an exhaustive list of the best papers on (nearly) every technical topic, e.g. Papers We Love
- a fresh set of Technical papers to read each day or week, e.g. The Morning Paper
