- What junior and mid-level engineers most need.
- Why women and people of color can't always take the advice they're given
- What it means to be over-mentored and under-sponsored
- The difference in level-setting when you're coming into a new company vs. going up for promotion
- How internal promotions can be highly political
- What engineering managers can do to best support people earlier in their career
