How to get a CTO role in a tough job market
The CTO job market has changed. Employers are very picky and they seem to want you to be "just right", no room for development or improvement.
Particularly many aspiring or ambitious CTOs with "unstructured careers" really struggle in this market.
- Many CTOs and aspiring CTOs are stuck in engineering leadership limbo: no longer engineer but not quite yet CTO.
- Many CEOs are hesitant to replace a CTO that left/was let go recently because they are concerned about the real value a CTO would bring to the top and bottom line.
- More than ever, to get a job, CTOs now have to demonstrate the business value they bring to companies.

Absolutely! If you did not get any value out of this recording, please let me know and I will give you a full refund. All I ask is that you are very blunt and transparent with me about how I let you down, what you were expecting to see instead, how could I have made it useful for you.
