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

Things are moving faster and faster, most people can’t keep up regardless of how hard working or committed you are. Many are probably questioning what they are really after. Unless lives are at stake, what exactly is the urgency in all this.

And I'd offer this is true across all levels of organizations. Not just at the top.

It's not even the speed. It's the lack of thoughtfulness because most are chasing stupid valuations rather than looking to solve real problems. VCs are pushing everyone to go 997 -burn out. Mercor managers literally watch cameras to ensure people stay late.

Yeh, a few high profile CEO’s seem to have left/ be leaving for these reasons.
