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

Replying to @GergelyOrosz
I burnt out after CTOing a startup for 6 months back in 2018, but that was because I realized I hated spending 24/7 on hiring. Architecting the app was fun, hiring was not. That's why I've climbed back down the corporate ladder.
