From engineering to management Is it common for a mid level software engineer to be hired into management at a new company? I moved to consulting and there's not much room for management within the firm, and we don't offer management positions to clients. I enjoy helping people learn, and I'm a very strong engineer (shown through the actions of employers, not just words). I've been told I'm great at interviewing too. To be honest, I though management was a joke before. Not anymore. After maturing I've come to the realization one person can't do it all, and nor should they. I would do my best to care the team I'm apart of too. Making sure everyone's work life balance is maintained would be a high priority for me. |
