How do I transition from IC to engineering manager?

Start by mentoring junior engineers and leading projects. Seek opportunities to own processes (sprint planning, hiring). Many companies offer tech lead roles as a stepping stone. Management training and coaching help.

Do engineering managers still write code?

It depends on the company and team size. Managers of small teams often contribute code. At larger organizations, the role shifts more toward people management, strategy, and cross-team coordination. Most maintain technical depth through reviews.
