Introducing the third edition of the Global CTO Survey.
Fill out the survey and you’ll be the first to receive the report summarizing what choices other CTOs are making to navigate the economic slowdown, the intense war for talent, as well as the challenges on the horizon stemming from the rise of AI, Web3, and blockchain.
You’ll also enjoy special discounts and offers from our partners so you can bring yourself up to speed on what you need to know to stay afloat as a CTO.
Get an advantage over your competition by learning what your peers are doing to navigate the economic slowdown and other challenges.
Optimize your budget and improve your skills.
Identify areas for improvement and stay current with industry trends.
Share your insights and experiences, allowing others to learn from your successes and challenges.
Get the intel you need to anticipate and prepare for emerging technologies and changes in the market.
After filling out the survey, you’ll be the first to know the results. We’ll send you a detailed report with our findings about tech leaders, including:
Career path
Find out how the respondents became CTOs in the first place, and how long it took them to get there.
Job satisfaction
Check how happy your fellow CTOs are with various aspects of their job.
Security
See if you’re behind on adopting standard security measures.
Leadership and hiring
Learn how other CTOs are growing their teams, including their hiring criteria, where they’re finding candidates, how they’re measuring performance, and their approach to remote work.
Technical stack
Compare your tech stack and skills against other organizations, from programming languages through databases to containerization tools.
Challenges and future trends
Get insights from hundreds of CTOs about what obstacles and opportunities they’re expecting to appear within the next few years.
Training and self-development
Find out how CTOs are keeping their teams’ skills sharp, and how much time they’re devoting to self-growth.
Hiring has proved to be an issue in 2021: a year that has seen falling unemployment rates in the USA, UK, and EU since they peaked during the COVID-19 pandemic.
What may come as more of a shock is that being a culture fit is deemed almost as necessary as technical skills.
According to respondents, a good culture fit is rated more than twice as important as the number of years of experience a potential colleague has.
These days tech stack seems to be dictated more by the choice of a particular framework rather than a language. As JavaScript happens to be the most fragmented language, it seems natural that its frameworks and libraries play a central role in many companies’ tech stacks.
If you’re a CTO and have completed a course on business strategy, DevOps, or data science—congratulations. You're ahead of a lot of your peers.
In total, only 25% of CTOs said that their organization has an internal dedicated security team. The number of companies that outsource is roughly divided in half.
Organizations with a headcount of at least 1000 are more likely to have an in-house team than to entrust their cybersecurity to an external company.
