Interesting trend: CTO/ Head of Eng / VPE folks at startups and mid-sized companies are... leaving / burning out. Hiring for these roles is HARD, but even after filling the role, they will often leave a few months later and take a career break And they have v good reasons

CTOs have to do most of the (technical) work and take the onus for such decisions which often make or break the company; but get a fraction of the CEO upside! It is a fundamentally mispriced role IMO. (In terms of "market" comp rates vs realities, espec for true tech companies.)

100% those CTOs need to streamline the CEO process and realize they can do it too. There’s no real need for managerial types anymore. Just leaders and technicians
