Why learn
Why Business is worth your time
Most career ceilings are not technical — they are about whether you can read a P&L, prioritise across teams and influence without authority. These are learnable skills and they compound over a 40-year career.
Even individual contributors benefit: understanding how the business works helps you pick projects, frame tradeoffs and get promoted.
