Episode notes

Anton: Career lettering is an amazing topic for a long string of poadcasts, and was definitely one of the, one of the few most impaful things we've delivered as managers in the engineering organization. In this mine said the importance of making people around you better and focusing on the success of the ever growing, ever splitting, ever reinventing itself team were like 80, 90 % of what seniority meant for us. Anton: When you're a hundred thousand people are to people, you have to operate that way. But itis very differet when you're 50 people growing to a hundred, and 50 growing to 300. It's all about mine sentimentality

Former GM of Snyk, Anton Drukh, recently became a mentor for VPs of Engineering and joined us on this week's episode to discuss his experiences leading a team split between two very different cultures. His journey as a leader working with teams in Israel and the UK is a lens into how diversity of mentalities can be an essential asset for tech companies and how it played a role in Snyk's success.

In this episode we spoke candidly about promotions, how teams evolve as companies shed their skin and grow, and the not so obvious career steps from engineer to engineering leader. The shift towards full-stack engineering is in motion. Can organizations rise to the occasion?
