Few cents from someone who moved into Engineering Management from Software dev in a high growth organisation.
30% Hiring for my team but also helping out for other teams. This also includes optimising our process etc.
15% Maturing and coordinating the tech org getting things like oncall routines in place or what forums do we need (or what should've just been an email)
20% Growing individuals through coaching and mentoring as well as finding opportunities for them to shine.
20% hands on teamwork usually being the one who asks stupid questions to ensure all uncertainties are brought up.
15% putting out fires
I'm pretty happy with this division. I'm also very happy to also have a product manager and a tech lead in my team to avoid one person wearing all those hats.
