Jean Hsu, VP of Engineering at Range, talks to Duretti Hirpa, a principal engineer at Zipper, about mentoring and coaching junior and mid-level engineers. 

Jean and Duretti discuss:

  • What junior and mid-level engineers most need.
  • Why women and people of color can't always take the advice they're given
  • What it means to be over-mentored and under-sponsored
  • The difference in level-setting when you're coming into a new company vs. going up for promotion
  • How internal promotions can be highly political
  • What engineering managers can do to best support people earlier in their career
