I'm Stanley Yao, a Leader, Coach, and Content Creator
Throughout my career in the high-tech industry, I have successfully transitioned across multiple roles and levels, including individual contributor, tech lead, manager, and manager of managers at FAANG companies. Along the way, I gained valuable insights, connected countless dots, and supported many individuals in advancing their careers. With this site, my goal is to extend that impact by helping even more people—particularly entry, mid-level, and senior individual contributors, as well as entry and mid-level managers—achieve their professional aspirations.
