Engineer Unstuck is a free community for engineers one level below Senior who are doing good work and still not getting promoted.
Most stuck engineers have the same problem, what I call Head-Down Engineer Syndrome: constantly doing good work but not getting credit. They don't know what Senior actually means, they're not on the same page with their manager on gaps and a plan, and they're not visible to the people who make promotion decisions.
Here you'll get practical advice on getting to Senior from someone who's been on both sides of the promotion decision, a place to ask questions, share wins and stay accountable, and starter lessons in the Classroom.
About me: I'm Mansour Manci. I got 4 promotions in 7 years at John Deere, pivoted from mechanical to software, became a software engineering supervisor, and sat in promotion calibrations. My last role was Principal-level work affecting over 2,500 embedded software developers.
Any engineering discipline is welcome. Free to join.
