Are you a Software Engineer looking to make your next career move? Are you considering making that leap into a Leadership position? Or, are you already an experienced leader wanting to transition from a Corporate to a Startup, but unsure if it’s right for you??
Who better to ask than someone who has made these exact career moves with great success?
Well, that’s what we did when we were lucky enough to sit down with Jeff Ptak, Director of Data Engineering, at Sunbelt Rentals. With over a decade of hands-on experience, prior to his move into leadership, Jeff brings a real-level of empathy to his team, and thought-leadership to Sunbelt Rentals. We found out exactly what Jeff thinks it takes to be a leader & VP – from the skills, to the mindset – as well as discussing how a change in industry can be a beneficial career move. We also touch on the alternative career paths that engineers can take if they think leadership might not be for them!
