A good place to start for engineers looking to take the management route is tech leads or mentoring interns or new joiners.

Data Product Leaders (DPLs) bridge the gap between data engineering and customer use-cases, anticipating needs and structuring data to meet these needs. This shift in roles is pivotal for modern, data-driven organizations.

If you are an Engineering Manager and it doesn't feel right, then it probably isn't. Sometimes it is just growing pains or transitional anxiety, but if that continues and you find yourself unenergized and unmotivated by your work then it might be time to slip back into some old habits. It is okay to try the role for a while then transition out if that is what works for you. Hopefully you'll learn some new skills along the way. The transition back to Individual Contributor is more common than you think and if it feels like the right move, chances are it just might be.

Leadership plays a pivotal role in guiding teams, involving monitoring, advice, understanding limits, and removing toxicity. Cultivating resilience involves setting challenging but achievable tasks, expanding psychological capacities, while avoiding setting impossible goals. Ultimately, mastering these strategies can transform high-pressure situations into opportunities for growth and excellence.

The difference between leaders who push their teams to the ground and those who take teams to great heights isn’t knowledge, capability, or competence, but their motivation and desire to succeed. What sets them apart is confident humility. Confident humility is the confidence in a leader’s ability to make the right decision while acknowledging that they need others to do it right. Ignorant leaders are disconnected from the true problems that impact their team's productivity and performance. They never build the time to understand their employees as humans and employees as first humans.

Why functional programming matters

This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/why-functional-programming-matters-c647f56a7691.
I’ve been working as a software engineer for sixteen years, and in those years I’ve been to countless of job interviews, but I’m still dumbfounded by how this is mostly done by companies. The majority of interviews for engineering positions focus on algorithms and data structures. Candidates must answer questions like how to find the longest subarray of an array with a given sum, what is the complexity of their solution, how can it be improved etc., usually at a whiteboard. Whiteboarding sessions are meant to reveal computer science proficiency, understanding of subjects like the Big O notation, but also generic problem solving skills. They are also meant to give interviewers a feel of how it is to collaborate and work together with the candidate.

Pulse surveys provide an anonymized, aggregated perspective from the wider organization. The results are aggregated and compared across managers, across teams, across organizations, and to historical data. Pulse surveys give leadership the ability to view trends, compare between teams, and identify wider systemic problems. Pulse is too frequent enough to happen frequently enough to be the main forum for employee feedback, but it's not a good place to work. There are alternative ways to incorporate this valuable tool into a management strategy.

If you are laid off and not offered severance or offered a tiny amount, simply ask for more. The clock immediately starts ticking on stock option purchases.

BANI is a faster and more complex chaotic world with no clear structure. The world is on the border between the worlds of **SPOD-VUCA-BANI and the transition of mankind from the age of Kali-yuga to the New Age.

From a high-level, there are two qualities you really want to exhibit in a coding interview: Confidence and humility. At the end of the day, companies don’t hire people. People hire people who are enjoyable to work with. Don't trash talk your past coworkers. No one going to hire you out of pity.

Job hunters are not getting an accurate picture of the job market. Companies place phantom jobs to build a pipeline of candidates for the future. Fake jobs are used to show that the company is doing well and growing while everyone else is floundering. Many jobs are posted on the company website and end up on job aggregation sites. To the job seeker, the roles look new, but they are months old, and most have been filled already. The company can gain a sense of the marketplace by posting phantom jobs.

In the book, The Charisma Myth, by Olivia Fox Cabane, she presents an overabundance of great advice, some of which may sound odd at first, but it always proves worthwhile. One thing that has stuck with me was her advice to think of 10 charismatic people or characters. Then, I should imagine these 10 people sitting on a board of directors inside my head, and whenever I face a challenge, I can refer to my 10 board members for guidance. I can ask them questions, and imagine what they would say.

Job recruiters don’t require a college degree, certifications, licensing or accreditation. Fast-growing sectors, such as the tech industry, attract recruiters, some of whom might move on to the next hot industry later. Most job recruiters and firms work on a contingency basis, with no exclusivity offered or a monetary reward for trying, but not succeeding in the search. The life of a job recruiter is intensely competitive. The dynamics make the recruiter lavish time, attention and love on the few strong contenders.
