Disclaimer: I also recently started at HubSpot and am currently enjoying my embedding phase immensely.

The whole embedding onboarding is awesome and I think it raises the question of how engineering leaders can go through cycles of leading and refreshing their technology skills. I believe many people fear leadership tracks because they don’t want to lose touch with their technical skills.


That's awesome, Chris! Thanks for reading. How far along are you in the process?


I'm 5 months in. About to wrap up my 2nd rotation, and move on to my 3rd and final rotation!


Best of luck in your final rotation - I hope you really enjoy it.
