What's really happening?
Layoffs and consequent decrease in demand for senior leadership roles in tech companies. Is that the current reality?

“I recently completed the Digital MBA with a CTO lens at CTO Academy, and it was an excellent experience. The curriculum is incredibly relevant, and I really appreciated how up-to-date the topics were. It feels like the team is constantly refining the content, ensuring that nothing becomes stale in this fast-moving industry while adding fresh, meaningful discussions. That level of thoroughness made the program feel truly valuable.
One of my favorite aspects of the course was the format where an AI voice asks questions, and an expert provides answers. This approach made the material engaging and digestible while keeping the learning experience dynamic.
The program strikes a great balance between depth and accessibility, covering critical leadership and technical topics in a way that is applicable to real-world CTO responsibilities. I highly recommend CTO Academy to anyone looking to level up their CTO skills with a structured and insightful learning experience.”
Keep in mind that enrollment still includes 12 months of free CTO Academy Membership. As a member, you gain access to our global community of technology leaders and weekly online sessions with senior leaders where you can get immediate answers and guidance (to name just a few perks).
Given the latest job market trends, having a network of peers by your side means the difference between a good role and unemployment.
