How many years of experience does one need to be an engineering manager in the tech industry? #engineeringmanager #management #techlead #leadership #cto #techleadership
There are always edge cases, but generally speaking, it takes about 5 - 7 years for a software developer to become an engineering manager.
Once they become an engineering manager, it then takes about 2 - 3 years before they become effective in their roles.

The first year is usually about learning on the job as being an engineering manager is a completely different role to being a software developer.

While there is no set number of years, generally, 5 - 7 years in a software engineer role is what most engineering managers have before they take on the management path.
Some tech companies put senior engineers on the same level as their engineering managers for this very reason. Engineering management is a linear and alternate career track to software engineering.
What is the role of a Chief Technology Officer is a question many aspiration CTOs and even the CTOs themselves ask. My answer in thread.

In my research for the latest product I created for Senior Engineering leaders called CTO Toolkit, I found that there are 6 critical areas that fall within a senior technology leader’s remit, 3 are strategic and 3 are more operational.
In general, CTOs are responsible for:
⛳️ Technology Strategy
Evaluate the current technology landscape (technology stack, resourcing, capabilities, etc.) and recommend a forward-looking, short and long-term technology strategic vision and plan.

Does a software engineering manager (people manager) normally do a lot of coding in tech companies? I'll answer using my personal experience in the thread.

When I was an engineering manager of a small team of 4-5, my coding time was about 40% - 50%.
When I was an engineering manager of a 12 people team, I’d only have about 10%-20% time for coding.
Studies have found that leaders who focus on the strengths of their teams have better outcomes both in terms of business and employee engagement.
As an engineering manager, do you know what are your strengths of your team members? As a software engineer, what skill is your single greatest strength?
As a senior engineering manager who was once a software developer, I’d say my ability to think and act like a CEO was my greatest strength that has helped me in my career growth and progression.

Let's talk about engineering metrics. There are 2 types of metrics you should look at when it comes to measuring the success of a software engineering team. More 🔽

The first type of metric is qualitative which can be achieved by talking to customers. Many software companies use NPS (Net Promoter Score) to measure this. Looking at these metrics ensures your software engineering team is delivering value to business and customers.
The second type of metric is quantitive. They can be represented numerically and obtained scientifically.
