Who publishes Forward Deployed Careers
Forward Deployed Careers publishes company-by-company guides to forward deployed engineering roles: what each team does, how it hires and how its interviews work.
Things we refuse to do
- Take money for coverage, or hide a business connection behind a recommendation.
- Promise anyone a job, a raise or any other result.
- Make up authors, reviewers, testimonials, ratings, pay figures or statistics.
Sourcing and fact-checking
Every factual claim carries a numbered footnote to its source. If we cannot source a claim, we do not make it.
Salary and labor figures are drawn from primary data such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, public filings and published pay ranges, always with the date they describe.
Program and company details are taken from the organization's own pages: its documentation, its course or exam pages and its job postings.
Research findings link to the paper or report itself.
Not professional advice
We describe roles, programs and markets and what the evidence says about them. For a decision about your career, a contract, hiring or money, ask a qualified professional who knows your circumstances.
Funding and recommendations
We do not accept payment for coverage, and we earn no referral or affiliate fees. We have a business connection with Torchlane. Torchlane runs AI FDE training and introduces employers to forward deployed engineering candidates. No article on this site recommends Torchlane at the moment. Any recommendation of it will be labeled "Our top pick" and will carry the note in the same place.
Any link to Torchlane would pass through an address on this site that records the click; the Privacy Notice explains what is recorded. Torchlane also uses the same analytics account as this site; the Privacy Notice says what that means for you.
We describe every other program, company and option in its own published terms, and we run no display advertising.
