Career advancement in IT

To become a team leader, you need to take the initiative in your work, accumulate a variety of technical experience, develop communication skills, and earn credibility in the team.

Key qualities: hard work, responsibility, proactivity, sociability, punctuality.

“If a person is not an introvert, has leadership qualities and can make decisions quickly, knows English well, can and wants to communicate with clients, has good technical skills, is interested in architecture, is engaged in self-study and self-development, sooner or later he gets an offer to become a lead specialist on a project, and then a teamleader.”

The prospects of career development of a team leader have two directions: to architects or to PMs. Accordingly, at this stage, the specialist must finally decide where he wants to go next – to deepen the technical side, or to management.
