Technical Account Manager

Being a woman in tech, I only recently started advocating for myself at work about advancement opportunities. Because of this I wanted to ask this question to my male counterparts. When you have 1:1's with your direct reports and talk about career growth / aspirations what is your managers’ response typically? I’d like to gauge how my experience (negative) differs from others. For instance are you met with blockades, enthusiasm, dread, etc?

    Software that matters

    Mar 22, 2021 - Software Engineer in Austin, TX

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Having been a vAuto long-hauler, I can attest to the fact that every day at work for me is an exciting one. We write software that MATTERS. Period. Folks can complain about old tech stacks, old code base, but you don't get to 0 to over 350 million in revenue and a vast loyal customer base by having an unstable, unimpactful code. If you think re-writing the steering wheel in .Net Core, Python, Scala and the latest AWS shiny toy is impactful code than it's not. That is the misconception amongst some jaded engineers. It's not the tech-stack that is exciting it's the problem you are solving. It makes me chuckle to read reviews about software engineers complaining about innovation @ vAuto. Innovation is not a class you take at a university. No one is stopping you from innovating at a personal level @vAuto. You just do it and then you sell it. There is enough management support at vAuto and the Cox Automotive ecosystem that would make your innovation a revenue generating machine. It has to make money. vAuto is not into vaporware (unlike Google) and that is why there is a process behind everything. ~My $0.02

    Cons

    Can we get back to in-person work. COVID sucks.

    Best Job I've Ever Had

    May 30, 2021 - Performance Manager 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The biggest Pro is the Work-Life balance without question. Coming from the retail world as every Performance Manager must we have all experienced strong financial compensation. As a PM the pay is lower than a dealer GM but to be a part of your children and families lives is priceless. Others: -Autonomy -Creative License to present and do what you feel is best for the client -Work from home, no commute unless you choose to travel to a client -Fair pay and generous benefits -Working with like-minded people -Peers are all there to help and make you feel welcome. -Regular feedback from management on progress towards career goals

    Cons

    I cannot think of anything I would rate as a Con.
