Surviving the Transition from Individual Contributor to Engineering Management / People Management
Panelists: Sravya Chodisetti Engineering Manager https://in.linkedin.com/in/sravyachodisetti "I am a Software Engineering Manager with a decade of full-stack experience and 4 years of leading engineering teams. My philosophy centers on leading with empathy, believing that the best products come from empowered teams. I believe in instilling a sense of ownership that goes beyond code, enabling teams to not only solve complex problems but also to build user-focused, accessible products. Over my career, I've had the opportunity to work at leading FinTech companies like PhonePe [leading payments in India], PayPal, Swiggy [logistics and food], and Goldman Sachs, and specialize in balancing People, Products, and Processes to grow successful teams and create impact."

It's been a mix of rewarding moments and messy growth - from navigating new expectations to unlearning old habits. I'll be speaking candidly about the challenges, internal confusion, and what helped me finally embrace the shift."
