Jordan Adebayo has managed teams of five and departments of fifty. After a successful 15-year career as an engineer and later a leader at several high-growth startups in London, he stepped away from management to focus on what he loved most: mentoring and developing people. He believes that the biggest challenges in tech aren't technical, but human. In his column, Jordan draws on his extensive experience to offer candid advice on everything from navigating promotions and giving difficult feedback to combating burnout. He is the author of the fictional book 'Code Your Career: A Manager's Playbook' and a sought-after speaker on engineering leadership.
