>How do I even become an engineering manager? I was made one because my director said during a team meeting that we needed more senior staff to get work moving forward and I disagreed, saying if we made our processes better we could deliver faster. I had a conversation with him after saying if he gave me a team I would get him what we needed, and that's how I started.
