I have been into engineering management for quite sometime now. Each organization I have worked with have different expectations. Some of them have expectation of people management. Some of them have the designation as "Engineering Manager" but it turns out to be Delivery management. Some change the definition based on "current priority". Through all this, even though I could add value to...
You should find a life partner, get married. It will be difficult. But give it a try. It will give you some purpose to live / earn /struggle for the small world that you create for yourself. May be if things go right way, you can raise kids.

Is there any analytics available out of the box in MS outlook. The idea is with covid + being a middle manager in large organization, the only thing that I get to do is attend meetings. With back to back meetings, I hardly get any time to either write agendas or minutes.Is there a way I can present a weekly stats to stakeholders in
a) number of hours in a week I have spent in meetings.
b)...
Thanks for the comments. The last 2 statement "you can't go back to entry level" and "biggest hedge against this is make sure always have a foot in some other tech" seems to be a bit contradictory.
Pardon me if I have not understood it clearly.
But if someone is not able to go back to entry level then how can they have foot in other tech?
So, it means, you agree to the fact that a Engg manager will be be a redundant job in 8 - 10 yrs timeframe?

I am a Engineering manager and want to devote some time to write about my journey / learnings / unlearnings. Have a full time job. What are some of the suggestions / do's and dont's
I guess all will agree that every successful product is an outcome on number of iterations and to perform progressive iterations there has to be a way / tool which can be one language across the board. That's why these tools such as Sprint exists. And I am sure if you are a good manager ( a future self ), you would sure not giving yourself a suggestion of using "post-its, emails, spreadsheets, large whiteboards , hang a TV screen, pdfs" as the preferred way of managing iterations.

There has been high attrition too because of these above pay scale decisions. I have been trying to look for new opportunities in the same tech stack / domain but it seems I am lacking things that the companies in...
What are your suggestions in terms of low hanging fruits to make it fast?
@sidcool, Thanks for the cool open-source project. One query is all the documentation are about how to make things work when you have a single repo to deal with. The problem complicates when we have to deal with multiple repos that can grow/shrink across versions.

How can we have a continuous delivery for an On-Prem installable Product when we need to support multiple versions? More importantly, in such products, the codebase is not in a single repo. The repos can grow/shrink across versions.To elaborate more on the Problem statement. [ ON-PREM Installable ] Let's say you roll out first version( v1) of your product and you deploy it to 2 customer...
