Hi folks, I started collecting various resources (books, tools, newsletters etc.) for engineering managers. You can check them out here: www.notonlycode.org/engineering-manager-resources/ and if you have any suggestions to add to the list, let me kno!
Thanks for the recommendations, can you also give more insights on entry level engineering manager and why most of the starting eng manager job descriptions have a pre-requisite of past 2-3 yrs of management experience, it becomes challenging to full fill such requirements for someone thinking of making the transition, is my understanding right that in order to make this transition one has to do that in the same org first and gain some experience
Hi, thanks for the question, it's a good topic for a separate video, but let me answer here very briefly. The companies always have an option of hiring externally or promoting internally. As an internal candidate, you already know the company and people there, the product etc. but you don't have necessary skills (in this case people management). As an external candidate, you don't know anything about the company, so you'll need to learn it. What you bring instead is relevant experience - and if you don't have that experience in people management, then you don't really have any advantage over promoting an internal candidate.
Your review is absolutely fascinating. I have written a management book "LEARNING MANAGEMENT BACK FROM MACHINES" published by PARTRIDGE and available in AMAZON. how can I send a copy to you please for your kind review?

Become an effective software engineer manager, is an amazing book. I totally recommend. Plus is super fun to read.
Thanks for this list. I just started in the role of an engineering manager and am looking forward to ordering some of them.
Thanks, and all the best in your new role!
