4 reasons why some highly skilled software engineers struggle to take the next step in their careers:

👉 No efforts put into building relationship with team members & managers.

👉 Lack of confidence when trying to get in a better role, or imposter syndrome.

🍀 Show flexibility and empathy. Be understanding of their situations and help them resolve conflicts.

🍀 Give autonomy, don't #micromanage. A good #mentor should trust their mentees. If goals are well communicated, there is no need for micromanagement.

🍀 Work towards the same goals. Make sure the team understands what the company goals are and set #OKRs.

🍀 Guide your team to their own #careersuccess. Ensure their constant #growth through their day-to-day tasks & projects.

📌Don't lie about your weaknesses. Interviewers have developed the skill to recognize the honest answers.

📌At the end of the interview, ask 3 questions: about the job you're applying for, about their own experience as employee within the company and about the company itself.

[Napice @napice_tech]

🔔Remember that a job #interview is about the company wanting to fill an open position and as much as it is about you wanting to find a great fit for your skills and for your #careerdevelopment🔔

For your next #jobinterview, consider the points below.

[Napice @napice_tech]

📌To "tell me about yourself" question, your answer shouldn't take more than 2mins: short background + current status + strengths as a software pro + short-term career ambitions.

📌Know where you want to be in 5 years and show that you want continuous professional growth.

4⃣ Not being a good listener.
Human nature makes us prefer to talk about ourselves, rather than listen to other people's stories. A manager should do the opposite. Listen to your team to create a trustworthy environment and make them feel heard.

70% of companies' conflicts happen because of miscommunication, according to @HarvardHBS!

We have identified 4 main barriers that prevent #software #engineering managers to communicate effectively with their teams.

[Napice @napice_tech]

3⃣ Failure of stating the reasons why.
Most managers tend to give a mission or a deadline to their teams, without explaining the reason behind it.
They need to know "why, how, when, who and where". Just like the questions a mother would ask her teenage kid who wants to go out.
