Storytime With Managers is a collection of twenty minute conversations where Jennifer Tu finds answers to questions of interest for both established and budding leaders in technology fields.
Episode 3 follows Raquel Vélez (@rockbot on Twitter) in her management journey as she moved from lone-manager-at-tiny-startup to discovering her "first team" of engineering manager peers. Prior to management, Raquel was a JavaScript developer who eventually found her happy place learning to work with systems of people instead of systems of code.
We talk about the similarities and differences between small companies and big companies -- the impact of reorganizations, discovering lanes and your first team, managing sideways, securing promotions for your reports -- and how it's still humans all the way down.
