For those of you with high functioning triads, what makes your engineering lead standout? I am in a product team where the engineering lead was a good developer who was promoted into role when the previous lead left. They are a good IC, but have trouble staying out of the weeds and I don't feel like the engineers have enough thought leadership. Trying to work on this dynamic with coaching, but I'd love some insights into what you see as must have attributes/ways of working for that role.

I work with a really great engineering lead. When we bounce ideas off one another they often surprise me with a proof of concept. I love colleagues that don’t require a big huge requirements doc

I have a counterpart with the title “Technical Product Manager” and they are incredible. They had a developer background, but also Project Management. They tend to be our Lead Dev/SCRUM master these days (I’m new and we are a small, growing team) and tbh our whole team would fall apart without them, which is another problem that we are working on haha. But the project management background is very very helpful and they also had great written skills.

Ugh that is such a common scenario. It should be something that their manager is working with them on. Do you have a peer review process or other way that you can provide feedback to the eng lead or their manager?

This is a great point. I do and have talked about this before, but perhaps I should reemphasize it.

I just got an offer for a PM role at eBay. I don’t have an Eng background and I’ve never had a PM title within tech, although my previous roles involved a lot of PM-type work. So effectively this would be me “breaking into” product management and finally having the title. I think this could open a lot of doors but I’m very hesitant about eBay. It’s obviously not a “hot” company right now and I’m not sure how respected it would be for getting other PM jobs in the future. Should I make the jump?
