Story4.5 out of 5 stars 69
Facebook VP Julie Zhuo remembers the moment when she was asked to lead a team. She felt like she’d won the golden ticket - until reality came crashing in. She was just 25 and had barely any experience being managed, let alone managing others. Her coworkers became her employees overnight, and she faced a series of anxiety-inducing firsts, including agonising over whether to hire an interviewee, seeking the respect of reports who were cleverer than her and having to fire someone she liked.

Story5 out of 5 stars 5
At most technology companies, you'll reach Senior software engineer, the career level for software engineers, in five to eight years. At the career level, your company's career ladder won't require that you work towards the next promotion; being promoted further is an exception rather than expected. This is also when many engineers are first given an opportunity to move into engineering management.

Great book, no technical input for narrator
Great stuff, very well structured and gives you great examples and lists that you can take and use in your work right away. Unfortunately, the narrator is inappropriate for the material. A lot of the technical abbreviations and terminology is read in a very I securely. She should have gotten some technical coaching on how to pronounce what. Otherwise great book.

Blends Together & Kind of Boring
I have been listening to this while at work for the past week or so. And, the chapters definitely blend together as the big arching idea is not well stated per chapter. I also fine the book to be kind of repetitive (ie boring). It does give some nice remarks, but not enough to be as long as the book is. I would recommend increasing the speed of the reader if you gonna listen.

Software Engineering Focused
The book focuses more so on the author's experience with software engineering and managing people in that environment. However, there is still plenty of valuable information to be taken from the book for other disciplines of engineering.

Every tech manager shoud read the book
Personally, I feelt so guided with the book, As an engineering leader transitioning from writing code to use more time leading projects, I found a clear path over the issues that tech managers should take in consideration when we're passing to leading teams.
In relation with the content, I'll recommend the book to all juniors engineers looking for a path in their careers. Leadership shouldn't be seen as a part time job over other activitios. Serious management is a full time job, besides, the author share the core tips to focusing in the important aspects of engineering leadership, from seniors, tech lead, to more advance roles as vp of engineering and cto.
Hoping to read (some day) the second edition of the book. Camille is an awesome writer and her experience in management is clear a good example of how to deal and triumph the leadership.

Would have been more useful earlier in my career
This book has useful advise and anecdotes if you are a relatively junior leader in a software company. If you’ve been doing 1:1s, developing in agile, have tech leads, and a career ladder then this isn’t for you. The book could have used some editing, there’s a fair bit of filler.
All in all, if you’re early in your management path then listen, but otherwise skip.

Great content, average naration
I've recently started as a Tech Lead and I was recommended this book, I'd also recommend it to others.
There are a few chapters you can skip but the relevant ones are valuable. This book isn't a cure-all, but it might help you identify some areas to improve, like it has for me.
Don't let the narration put you off - there's a lot of great content in here for new tech managers and I'm really glad it's in audiobook format because otherwise I'd have taken longer to read it. I found the easiest way to read was to have the speed set to 1.4-1.5x.
