Ask HN: No Path from Techie to Management?. When I was a much more junior techie I would apply for management roles in my company only to be told that I needed more experience and to upgrade my credentials. Years later I have certifications, a graduate degree and have advanced through the technical ranks. Now when I apply to management roles I am told that they are looking for a fresh perspective after hiring junior to intermediate applicants into the roles.
I am not an isolated example at my work and as a result we have lost some excellent talent. Is this happening at other companies or is mine an outlier?
Outside of this problem I really like where I work and the people that I work with but I feel that I may need to move on if I want to advance my career. I can't think of a way to address this problem with the higher ups without torching my future further.

Ask HN: Is there a shortage of talent at early-stage deep-tech startups?. For context, I’m a student interested in maximizing my marginal positive impact. One career path I’m considering is becoming an early-stage employee at a deep-tech startup working on an important societal problem.
In general, my concern is replaceability: if deep-tech startups generally have more qualified applicants than positions, my marginal contribution might be negligible because another similarly capable person would likely take the job anyway. Is this generally true, however? I.e., do early-stage deep-tech startups generally have an oversupply or shortage of qualified applicants?
My cursory impression from looking online is that there is an oversupply of recent graduates but a shortage of experienced or specialized engineers. However, perhaps this is completely wrong, so would be grateful for any evidence supporting or contradicting this assessment. Would also appreciate any general insights on whether joining an early-stage deep-tech startup is indeed a high-marginal-impact career path.


Show HN: Saggar, a Mac terminal that keeps sessions and your attention organized. Hi HN, like many of you talented folk, I’ve been building more, faster than ever. I built Saggar after my terminal stopped feeling like a tool and started feeling like a tab-management problem. Let me know you think!
