AGENDA
9.15 to 10.25 AM: The two ladders: Which one is for me?

the business sense? What is enough technology for you to manage the
business? In which stream will you make more? What is a successful
career track for you in either?

or biz lead, moving up is a challenge. What does it take to make the
cut? Who is a good tech lead? Who is a good biz lead? When do you stop
being one, and start another role?
