Some engineers want to focus on a technical career, some want to move to management. Coming from a technical background, learning these business skills isn't always first nature. How do you know which direction is right for you, and when to navigate it? And what does a manager even do, day-to-day? Learn about the challenges these managers faced as they navigated the change in career, why they chose that path, and what success in their position means to them.
