Brandon Hays: The 5 existential crises of senior-level engineers

Where have all the industry veterans gone? By simply looking around and seeing how few contributors with 20+ years of experience we work with, you're actually staring our industry's sustainability problem right in the face. Top-level talent is hitting existential crises, burning out, and ejecting from their career track (or even the industry). Fret not, we can start fixing these problems, right now, whether you’re a manager or an individual contributor.

Using research across companies of all sizes, you'll come away with a plan to start designing a sustainable career track to folks grow in skill, influence, and capability now and long into the future.
