Marco is an Engineering Manager at Spendesk. In this episode, we talk about his journey as a manager from a startup to a scaleup, and what he has learned along the way. These are some of the areas we discussed:

• How the EM role changes depending on the company you're working for and its maturity
• How you can deal with the feeling of being lost and not knowing anything after starting a new role
• How important it is to build your own network inside a company
• Questioning yourself and revisiting assumptions and tools that worked for you before
• Managers and football referees, what do they have in common?
• Change is the only constant, but when is change too much?
