"Be interpersonally warm and professionally firm" is one of the most useful influence skills you can build. Learn it from former Amazon VP Ethan Evans in this free lesson: jointaro.com/course/the-unwr…
Reorganizations are rarely just about the org chart. Ethan Evans walks through the hidden agenda behind reorgs and how to read them in this lesson, and the whole series is entirely free: jointaro.com/course/the-unwr…
Here's an unwritten rule most engineers learn too late: you can't be promoted over your manager's objection. In this free lesson, former Amazon VP Ethan Evans explains what that means for your career: jointaro.com/course/the-unwr…
Being nice and doing great work isn't always enough to move up. Ethan Evans explains why nice people often stall, and what to do about it, in this free lesson: jointaro.com/course/the-unwr…
Former Amazon VP Ethan Evans led teams of 800+ people, and here he breaks down what really decides who gets promoted, heard, and trusted inside a company. It's under three hours of lessons and entirely free: jointaro.com/course/the-unwr…
Every engineer eventually gets an idea like this from leadership 😅 Don't just say no.
Take the goal (cutting costs) seriously and steer toward a realistic path. Learn to be warm with people and firm on tradeoffs: jointaro.com/course/the-unwr…
Most missed deadlines are decided before a single line of code is written. Set dates before scope is understood, and engineers absorb the gap with nights and weekends. Learn to negotiate scope with your manager early in this free lesson: jointaro.com/course/the-unwr…

The first 500 engineers accepted into the SWE Talent Network receive a $150 onboarding incentive.
If you’re a software engineer in the U.S. or Canada and want to work on real AI systems while building high-signal, in-demand skills, apply here:
