Having been on a pathway to this level of engineering for a few years at my previous company, I was very disappointed when new management came in and effectively said ‘we’ve heard great things about what you’re doing but we need you to start from scratch and impress us’, to the point that last week I left the company I’d been a part of for over 7 years over the effective reset of all progress towards that next level. No real point to my comment, just a message that if you are just using these roles as a retention strategy for your best engineers, make sure to follow through with it or you may find that your best talent actually leaves over how its managed… As an aside, I’m really liking the team at my new role as well as the increased breadth of the role to start with.
