Hi, I'm Gregory, a Senior Engineering Manager with over 10 yeas of experience as a developer and manager. On this channel I offer advice for more experienced people in tech - especially for senior developers and engineering managers. Some topics I talk about are: * which career path is right for you? * how to make a bigger impact? * how promotion process works in big and small companies? * what skills do you need to be a successful engineering manager? From time to time I answer questions sent by my viewers. If you have any question, drop me an email or Twitter message. I'll make sure to reply and possibly I'll make a video where I'll answer your question.
