Great write up and very useful in an industry where a lot of people seem to think "doing a good job" is enough to get recognised, lots of money and continuous promotions. The transition from IC into Management really needs a head shift and I think a lot of software engineers aren't prepared for the machinations of modern corps.

I've gone in between both roles. I can be a CTO of a $50 million company and just another senior engineer at a $5 billion one.
Probably the most approachable explanation of this phenomena is in Reid Hoffman's blitzscaling.

How do you position yourself when looking for a job? Divergent background of this sort could be a liability.
And then you have to be explicit about what you want in your next role.
Do you have two different resumes?
