Who is this book for?
Let's first address the fundamental question of who can use this book. If you resonate with any of the categories below, then you have landed at the appropriate book:
• an engineering manager new to the role
• an engineer thinking about engineering management as the next potential career move
• an experienced EM who is looking to learn and grow in the role
• an EM who is changing jobs and will be taking over a team from a previous EM
• an EM who will further have new EMs under them or if they are helping ICs go through the EM transition
Not all the chapters in the book need to be read in the sequence as some might not be immediately relevant to your current role and will come handy later in your engineering manager career. But, I would recommend going through them and learning what to expect in the role. This would help you understand the role better from a 360 angle, which will include understanding the role from people, product and process perspective. Also, you would be better equipped to empathize with someone going through such a transition around you.
