The Loneliest Job in the Building

0:000:00↓ MP3
Ava found the one room where SE leaders talk to each other. Nate isn't buying it yet.

Ava had a comp question and nobody in her company to ask. She took it to a community of 250 SE leaders and had twenty answers by lunch. Nate has watched a dozen of these groups die and wants to know what's different.

What Nate and Ava discuss

  • Why SE leaders have two peers in the building while engineers have four hundred
  • Member-led sessions: a ten-minute impulse, one pointed question, breakouts with four other leaders
  • The catch Nate keeps looking for, and why there isn't one

The move

If you lead SEs anywhere in Europe, register at serockstars.com/community and bring the half-finished problem you're stuck on right now. Someone in there has already solved it.
