Hi,
How can I become a team/department lead? I guess I’m starting to feel tired of having a vision and not being able to implement it because I have 0 political power in a company.
I thought that the easiest way was to join a startup as the first person of a “department” in a company, but now I’m not sure how it’s possible to get hired to a startup on the early stage.
As lower/middle management, you are crushed from both sides. Upper management demands from you what to do, and the people under you hate what you are forced to implement. It’s actually really annoying and difficult. I was department lead and went back to just developing.
