This week, we talked about career changes in software engineering. My guest was Tobias Bales. He is a Software Engineer at Jimdo. He worked as an Engineering Manager for two years and decided to go back to engineering.


We talked about

🔶 How should the career of an engineer look like?

🔶 Does the road always go to management? What are the other options?

🔶 What is the real difference between an engineer and an engineering manager?

🔶 How to convince the company to go back to engineering?

and many more!
