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.

What are the expectations for senior engineers?

Senior engineers lead projects, make architectural decisions, mentor team members, and drive technical strategy. They are expected to solve ambiguous problems, influence beyond their team, and deliver high-impact work independently.

How many years of experience do senior roles require?

Typically 5-7 years, but impact matters more than tenure. Engineers who demonstrate leadership, system design skills, and cross-team influence can reach senior level faster. Some companies have IC tracks that go well beyond senior.
