      It’s a big tech company. Unless you’re an actual coal-face developer or sysadmin, most of the actual challenges will be the same regardless of what the machines with the blinky lights are actually doing.

      It’s not like the CEO is expected to be cutting code.

        Fair point. It’ll be the same idiotic administration nonsense that pretty much any braindead fool could do given a couple years experience. Soothe the ego of the board, tell people to do the bare minimum, network constantly so you have favors to cash in or calls you can make, and then accept a payout that isn’t remotely worth your benefit to the company or society.
