LEOCODE

I know that building and leading a tech team is challenging. As a CTO you have plenty of other duties - close collaboration with the CEO, following technology trends, making decisions about the product development etc. 

You also need a motivated, well-structured and self-organising team.

What if I could build such a team for you and let you focus on the things you love and are strategically important to you and the organization?

Let's have a chat and I will share my Secret Sauce with you!

Most of the  💻 CTOs have the same challenges:

✅ how to manage teams and what tools to use
✅ how to make decisions and execute delivery
✅ how to get rid of stress and pressure from C-Level 
✅ how to manage risks
✅ how to work on things that you LOVE and delegate rest
✅ how to differentiate yourself from other CTOs (creating a superpower and USP) 

For the last 12 years, I had a chance to work with many great CTOs and hear their problems and pains.

That's why I am building a CTO Playbook (launch date March 2024 - stay tuned) to give you guidelines and answers based on real-life examples 💪

Join my adventure and let's shape this together! ☀️

Software Developer salaries have crazy variations around the world.

One thing is crystal clear, though:
- Regardless of where you live, working remotely for a US company will increase your salary.

See Pakistan at the end of the list, the highest salary reported there is ~$16k/year.

So, if the highest paid Software Developer in Pakistan lands a remote US job earning a "low" US salary of $110k/year, that means an almost 7x salary increase.

Mind blowing stuff!

The specific math is different for each country, but the rationale is the same.

Take a look into Germany or France, two prominent economies in the EU, with highest SWE salaries of $90k and $70k/year.

SWEs there can still gain a 50% salary bump by working remote to the US. Nice!

Living in Portugal, my salary used to be below those $30k reported as the lower end in this 2023 survey.

Landing a remote jobs with a US company made my salary 5x back in 2016. To this day I'm still enjoying the Salary Arbitrage of earning a USD salary while living in the EU.

I wrote in depth about Software Developer salaries and how to leverage Salary Arbitrage in Remote Work.

Cała prawda o #AI na poniedziałek. 😎

Steve Jobs' invaluable insight on innovation: 
 
"You've got to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. You can't start with the technology and try to figure out where you're going to try to sell it." 
 
The lesson? 
 
Begin with the end-user in mind. 
 
It sounds straightforward, yet it's incredibly profound.

🔥 Tech Liderzy/CTO/ Head of Engineering - CALLING FOR YOUR ATTENTION 😎

👨‍💻 Rozmawiałem ostatnio z kilkoma CTO/Head Of Engineering w Polsce

Doszliśmy do wniosku, że jest sporo społeczności dla Biznesu, Inwestorów, Founderów Produktowych i nawet Programistów ale brakuje takiego dla CTO/Tech Liderów - A-Players, którzy tworzą ciekawe technologicznie projekty lub zarządzają zespołami (zarówno w PL jak i zagranicą).

Jest CTO Craft, CTO Academy, ale c'mon, Polska (🇵🇱) ma 38 MLN ludzi, czemu nie stworzymy czegoś swojego co pozwoli ludziom:

🤝 poznawać innych ciekawych Tech Liderów
🤝 poszerzać swoją wiedzę
🤝 budować swoje marki osobiste
🤝 nawiązywać relacje biznesowo-technologiczne
🤝 wspierać siebie nawzajem w karierze/ wyzwaniach codziennych w roli Tech Lidera
🤝 budować mosty z innymi zagranicznymi organizacjami tego typu

Tak powstała idea TechFolks Club (link w komentarzu) 🤠

Jeśli jesteś:

✅ CTO ciekawej firmy/ produktu
✅ Tech Liderem
✅ Head Of Engineering

I wierzysz w Ideę spotykania się i łączenia kropek, to zapraszam do zapisu!

Jeśli znacie kogoś kto pasuje, otagujcie go/ją proszę 🙌

Więcej szczegółów na Tech Folks (1wszy komentarz) 

Inauguracyjny meetup, 23.04.2024 (wtorek) w Warszawie 🫡

💪 Stay tuned, będzie się działo!

Otaguj ludzi, którzy chcieliby się włączyć do tej inicjatywy i lecimy 🚀

Experience > Benefits > Product > Technology = successful business 😎 So many good lessons, wise words Steve! R.I.P.
