Frequently Asked Questions
What is the TinyCTO Global Tech Career Operating System?
The Global Tech Career Operating System is a deterministic, evidence-backed career intelligence platform for software engineers, engineering leaders, and CTOs. It integrates 16 canonical role architectures, global compensation benchmarks, statutory visa thresholds, living cost atlases, and an ephemeral simulation studio.
How does Career OS differ from traditional tech job boards?
Career OS contains zero job postings or sponsored recruiter placements. Instead, it provides mathematical decision models (MCDA scoring, topological DAG roadmaps, and Mulberry32 Monte Carlo simulations) backed by primary statutory sources (BAMF, IND, MOM, Destatis, BLS).
How are the compensation percentiles and living cost baskets calculated?
Compensation figures represent normalized total target compensation across 6 global hubs, suppressed with minimum cohort size k ≥ 5 to protect privacy. Living cost baskets model standardized single-engineer monthly expenses (rent, groceries, utilities, transit, health insurance).
Are visa eligibility results legally binding?
No. All visa eligibility evaluations represent deterministic scenario models derived from published statutory rules (e.g. § 18g AufenthG for Germany, Aliens Act for the Netherlands). Official immigration decisions rest exclusively with competent national authorities.
AI Summary
