Heapspace Meetup powered by Nordeus: From Engineer to Manager

Stepping into management isn’t just a promotion, it’s a new chapter.
As you move from engineering to leadership, you’ll face new dilemmas, unexpected challenges, and decisions that no one really prepares you for.
What’s the right balance between leading people and delivering results?

Join us for a panel discussion From Engineer to Manager: What Nobody Tells You – Navigating the unexpected challenges of moving into leadership, organized with our partner Nordeus, where industry leaders will share how they successfully transitioned from engineer to manager, the challenges they overcame, and the lessons they learned.

You’ll hear about:
• How team dynamics shift when you become a manager to your former peers
• How to make tough decisions that may not be ideal for the team, but are necessary for the company
• Where support for your team ends, and alignment with leadership begins

Panelists:

– Mladen Milić, Senior Director of Engineering, Nordeus
– Igor Đurić, Principal Engineering Manager, Microsoft
– Jovan Ćukalović, Senior Director of Engineering, Nutanix
– Igor Bajović, Director of Technology, Megawatt

Moderator: Mina Marković, Engineering Manager, Nordeus

Whether you're a senior engineer considering a transition into a management role or a manager deciding when to support others on that path, this panel will offer practical insights and candid stories from experienced leaders.

Please note: The event will be held in Serbian.
