How to prep for engineering manager interview without any actual EM experience? I am currently a lead engineer (not with Sony) with 8YOE and interviewing for an EM role. I really want to transition into a managerial role so this new role I’m interviewing for at another company is something I’d like to pursue.
Any resources from experienced EM people would be helpful.

But if you still like to go with it, em interview is a storytelling time, a confessional on what has gone wrong and how you navigated. Hard to make those up.
Before anything else, write down why you’d like to be an EM. “Rule the people and make money” is a bad reason.
I believe I’m looking for answers not related to manipulation or being a pain in the a$$. Asking on how to prep for interviews since I have been reached out to.
