June 2017
Hard Job, but can be fun.
Director of Engineering in San Diego:
Watch the bonus structure if its based on profit-it wont be fair and watch promises for future without any current commitment, it's almost industry standard to promise the world but provide no commit.
Don't be afraid to pull leverage on bosses, they will usually respect you more.
Job is more challenging than I imagined, but I wouldn't be happy without a challenge personally.
April 2017
Salary review.
Director of Engineering in Indian:
Pros: It is great opportunity to work with the company.
Cons: Salary growth is stagnant here despite performance and hard work.
March 2017
Delivery is key.
Director of Engineering in Denver:
In the under 100 people company, your fog of war is probably around 90 days. Understand how far out you can really plan. You need the long term vision, but the reality is that most of the people you interface with don't understand most of what you and your group do. Educate them but keep your deliverables to small things that you can pivot on if you need to.
