Following the AMA where the person running the AMA gave no real answers and was probably not a manager (https://us.teamblind.com/s/TKPTt5zW), I’d like to step in for a proper AMA.



Some background on me: at Uber for a few years, started as an IC and moved into management via the apprentice manager track. I worked at Microsoft and startups before Uber.



I will answer as best as I can but won’t be able to share confidential information or information that would make it easy to identify me or my team - I’ll aim to indicate where this is the case.



And finally, to set expectations: I can answer based on my personal experience. There are hundreds of teams and engineering managers at Uber, so my experience will not necessarily be the same as the experience of other managers or teams.
