    Thanks for the recommendations, can you also give more insights on entry level engineering manager and why most of the starting eng manager job descriptions have a pre-requisite of past 2-3 yrs of management experience, it becomes challenging to full fill such requirements for someone thinking of making the transition, is my understanding right that in order to make this transition one has to do that in the same org first and gain some experience

    Hi, thanks for the question, it's a good topic for a separate video, but let me answer here very briefly. The companies always have an option of hiring externally or promoting internally. As an internal candidate, you already know the company and people there, the product etc. but you don't have necessary skills (in this case people management). As an external candidate, you don't know anything about the company, so you'll need to learn it. What you bring instead is relevant experience - and if you don't have that experience in people management, then you don't really have any advantage over promoting an internal candidate.
