Some background on me: I used to be in management in my old career (hospitality). I burned out and taught myself software engineering. I've been an engineer for a few years now.

In that time I've realized that I definitely miss leading teams. To position myself for roles in the future I've started leading several initiatives at work as the engineering resource, am working more closely with different departments, and am continuing to build up my technical skills. I'm also hoping to brush up on my leadership skills along the way doing this. I'm curious what other people did to transition into leadership, but also want to hear what unique problems an engineering manager will have. Any good blogs, resources, etc are also appreciated!
