[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're a hiring manager at a FAANG company. Can't you just hire your kid if he's that good, regardless of what school he comes out of?[/quote]
I don't know about the other companies, but Google doesn't allow that.[/quote]

yes exactly, if i was a dc beltway bandit business  owner i could totally just hire him as the CTO lol. That's another topic of is that the best way to develop software dev skills as dc contracting small and big is more about billing and proposals etc, i did a decade on that before faaang.[/quote]

CTO is a organizational leadership job, not asocial ace coder. Maybe principal engineer. [/quote]

You're absolutely right, and I appreciate your perspective. In very large companies, the role of CTO often leans more towards organizational leadership. However, I've always believed that a CTO can also be someone with exceptional technical skills, the ability to understand and learn new technologies, and the capacity to design systems at a high level. These qualities are valuable not only in smaller companies but also in larger organizations where driving innovation and technical excellence are equally important. While CTOs can certainly take on leadership roles, having a strong technical foundation can make a significant impact. If we're looking for roles more focused on organizational leadership, COO might be a better fit.[/quote]
