From IC to Tech Lead to Exec: The Unwritten Rules

Learn the unwritten rules behind career progression from IC to Tech Lead to Executive and how to accelerate your impact.

Women Tech Leaders in Conversation is a special OLLMOO Career Café fireside chat format featuring candid conversations with senior women technology leaders who share the lessons, challenges and unwritten rules that shaped their careers.

Join us for an exclusive conversation with Shilpi Mitra at Microsoft as we explore the unwritten rules that shape career progression in technology from Individual Contributor to Tech Lead, Manager and Executive leadership.

Many professionals believe career growth is driven solely by technical excellence and hard work. While strong performance is essential, progression into senior leadership roles often requires a different set of skills, behaviours and ways of thinking.

Join this Career Café if you:

• work in Tech & AI and are looking to advance your career
• want to understand what changes when moving from IC to Tech Lead, Manager or Executive roles
• are curious about how leadership potential is identified in large organisations
• want to increase your visibility and influence without feeling like you're self-promoting
• would like to understand the role sponsors and advocates play in career progression
• are interested in how hiring and promotion decisions are made for senior talent
• have ever wondered why some high-performing individual contributors struggle to progress into leadership roles

This is a rare opportunity to gain insight into how career and talent decisions are made inside large technology organisations, and to learn what separates strong performers from future leaders.
