Engineering Management, Burnout, and Finding Purpose: Interview With Michael Greenspan

from Dev Leader Podcast Hosted by Dev Leader

My podcast guest went from engineer to manager to career coach -- and what a journey it's been! In this video interview, Michael Greenspan joins me to share his career journey and shed some light on what engineering management looks like to him. We bridged into topics of burnout as well as the importance of finding purpose in the work we do. Thanks so much for the perspective, Michael!
