The Engineering Manager is a pivotal role for any technology organization. They are experts at balancing competing goals to create the best solutions.

But how do you level up to this position & what are the challenges you might face on the way, especially in an industry thats struggling with fair representation?

In this meetup, we will host a panel of Engineering Managers from companies in New York. Theyll talk about their experiences as people underrepresented in tech, some challenges & wins, & how you might prepare to take on that role yourself!
