As a manager I feel my days are always short, I work in a big company and have 1:1s with other departments to develop relationships, to try to influence other team’s roadmaps , to check how other people are doing that used to be on my team and how can I help, to talk with end users, to mentor junior developers… I can pick and choose what I feel has more impact on above. I also have a vision of where I want the team and the company to be and try to get strategies to achieve it. For example, increases pay bands justification, promotions, career ladder, more training budget, paying for software, approve open source usage requests that are blocking someone etc.
