Description

"Part of my philosophy is that the team should not need me."
The 3rd episode of Engineering Managers Series is about staying curious, fostering the team spirit, being in the middle of a sandwich, and why management shouldn’t be mistaken for parenting...  
“The role of Engineering Manager is in a sandwich. You have many inputs from different places. There are different things that are happening at the same time. It’s all the time like that.”
Miguel Angel Gomez, an Engineering Manager at Bumble gives a great and very honest overview of what it means to be an Engineering Manager both in his day to day job and in the industry. How the role differs from a Team Lead or a Tech Lead, etc. He also shares how important it is to create a team spirit and the sense of belonging in a team, as opposed to just having people working in a group.   
"The best thing that you can do as an engineer or a developer that wants to follow this path is asking people why we're doing this and being curious."
