It’s crucial to reflect on the inherent shortcomings of most PM processes, especially as they pertain to engineering culture. Embracing the subjectivity of performance management can lead to more genuine, effective, and meaningful assessments. By focusing on individual experiences, aligning personal goals with team missions, and empowering team members with context and autonomy, organizations can create a dynamic, responsive, and ultimately more effective approach to managing performance.

If you are an Engineering Manager and it doesn't feel right, then it probably isn't. Sometimes it is just growing pains or transitional anxiety, but if that continues and you find yourself unenergized and unmotivated by your work then it might be time to slip back into some old habits. It is okay to try the role for a while then transition out if that is what works for you. Hopefully you'll learn some new skills along the way. The transition back to Individual Contributor is more common than you think and if it feels like the right move, chances are it just might be.

The term "work-life balance" has been heavily scrutinized over the last couple of decades, often criticized for suggesting a binary choice. Some people thrive in the fluidity between their professional and personal lives, viewing both as integral parts of their existence. For leaders and employers, separation of work and life should be the *default*, but not enforced.
