- give unnecessary stress to engineers
- even when you have no technical background, act as if you do
- take most of credit for stuff you didn’t really do anything about
- let your team work, you just have to focus on performance awards at all hands
- keep telling your team they have the potential to grow but don’t let anyone grow ( make sure )
- waste as much time in meetings as possible or on writing wikis which no one will ever read
- make sure you calendar is fully booked all week long even when you have no idea about most of those meetings
* you get paid shot lods of money because you are “considered” to be leading a lot of technical people
On a serious note, would either of you be willing to assist me on my venture to make this position a little more reputable and technically justified for engineers? I have an interview coming up. Please let me know and I can DM you for any insights in to the role. TIA
It’s a heavy responsibility. Good EPMs feel that a lot, bad ones don’t. It isn’t a good role to take unless you really want to have a lot of influence and responsibility, and understand responsibility involves obligation.
The pay scale is similar to engineering, with… perhaps a smaller frequency / amount of stock grants.
I'm interviewing for an epm or pm at apple and there are technical questions although I haven't really coded for 2 years... But I'm an engineer by education and experience.
Are you saying EPMs at apple may not be engineers by education or experience?
