Choosing between a career path as an engineering manager or an individual contributor is a pivotal decision for engineers as they advance in their careers. This choice often hinges on personal interests, leadership aspirations, and the desire for hands-on technical work. Let’s get together and discuss:
• What are the key factors that developers should consider when deciding between becoming an engineering manager or staying on the individual contributor track?
• How can someone assess whether they have the necessary skills and mindset to transition into a management role?
• What are the most significant challenges and rewards that come with each path—engineering management versus individual contribution?
• How can companies support employees who are undecided or want to explore both career paths simultaneously?
