Most engineers strive to become a Tech Lead (TL) without a clear understanding of the job.

There’s no job role/designation called “tech lead” at most tech companies. Most engineers get thrown into tech lead roles naturally, without ever being told what exactly the role is and how to grow as one. Most advice on the internet on how to be a TL is: do your job well, take responsibility, help others, or something even more vague like “be a leader”.

In this course, Lalit, a seasoned engineer, breaks down his experience playing the TL role in various capacities across the company, from a team of 3 up to a team of 45.

Lalit goes beyond truisms to share tactical advice for success as a Tech Lead. He talks about topics such as interfacing with management, upleveling team productivity, and dealing with poor performers.

The course is broken down into 4 modules:

• 🧐 What is a TL?
• 🎨 TL role: why and archetypes
• ✊🏽 TL duties
• 🐐 Great TL patterns (and tricky situations)
