Beyond the headlines: Engineering leadership in 2024
summary
Data from LeadDev's 2024 report surveys 1,100 engineering leaders and finds headlines flatten into specifics: Q1 2023 sees 170,000 people laid off, 70% of large firms report budget cuts, 66% run at least one reorg, 48% see major leadership change, half experience four or more major changes, 71% report scope increases with 41% gaining more direct reports while only ~0.5% return to hands‑on coding; AI hype and LLM pivots drive many of those changes.
