Some of recent early Engineering Management retirees of hot tech companies wrote about their opinion of early growth in Engineering Managemnet citing their own career example and that of others in their company. While I respect their opinion and their company, I would like to believe that exceptions don't make a good rule. I am not sure how this worked for them ad other folks in their company. This post conveys by sample set questions to give a taste on the sheer number of things to experience and have an informed opnion about before taking that giant leap into Engineering management. What is your take on this topic based on your experience?
