One of the biggest career accelerators for a software engineer is working under an exceptional Engineering Lead or Engineering Manager.
The kind of leader who is technically strong, has high standards, and genuinely invests in growing their team.
You don’t just become a better engineer.
You start thinking differently.
Your definition of “good engineering” changes.
Your expectations of yourself change.
The quality bar you set for your own work rises.
Even after you leave that team, those standards stay with you. They influence every code you write, every design decision you make, every system you build, and eventually how you mentor others.
I, for one, have been incredibly fortunate with the engineering leaders I’ve worked under throughout my career.
I can confidently say they’ve shaped the way I think about engineering just as much as the technologies I’ve worked with.

When I got my first job as an intern developer. One of my first tasks was to work on the wallet system on the platform.
Mind you before then the most complex things I’ve built were a todo app and calculator using JavaScript.
That was when I realized that as a developer you have to know these:
1. No matter what the requirements are, they are technically possible.
2. If you don’t know it you must figure it out.
3. You cannot consistently say you don’t know/it’s not possible.
4. You must get it right.

Today was the third session of the ENG (@eng_network_gb) Structured Mentorship Program.
The session focused on planning your career for growth and preparing transitioning.
Some key takeaways:
• If you don’t have a plan, you’ll end up making random career moves
• Every successful transition begins with a plan
• International opportunities start with your signals.
• People should be able to see the skills you offer before they view your profile.
During the sessions we were advised to write our 12 month plan and be intentional with it.

Yesterday’s session on the ENG (@eng_network_gb) Structured Mentorship Program was focused on things recruiters consider in the hiring process.
The session covered things Job seekers ignore or do wrong that recruiters look out for when hiring.

Today I was a part of the ENG (@eng_network_gb) Structured Mentorship Program (Pilot Cohort) Kickoff Session.
During this session I learnt so much about Career clarity, Positioning, Visibility, and Building a professional brand.
A lot of people have the skills. The issue is positioning.
Most people lack clarity on what they want. Once you get that right, positioning becomes easy.
Key takeaways from the session:
• Career growth starts with clarity
• The Market rewards positioning
• Visibility creates opportunities.
• Recruiters hire relevance
• You're responsible for your professional brand

Here is exactly how HR finds out you lied on your CV, and some of these happen before you even get the job:
The Engineer Network is opening applications for the first pilot cohort of our Structured Mentorship Program.
A 6–8 weeks of direct, practical guidance from Talent Acquisition leader Olawale Odunlami , someone who sits on the other side of the hiring table
Applications close June 13th. The program kicks off on June 20th at 2:00 pm WAT.
Join the community via the link on our website to participate.
This cohort is currently restricted to network members only, and selection is application-based.

Your code is invisible until you document it.
Most engineers think their GitHub green squares speak for themselves.
The truth? Recruiters and collaborators want to see your process, not just your result.

We keep going 💪

Stop sending links to empty repos. 📁
In the #ENg30DayChallenge, consistency is key, but Visibility is the goal. If a recruiter clicks your GitHub link today, will they see a professional engineer or a disorganized hobbyist?

Although I’ve been building this for the past 5-6 days, I’ll be using it as day 1 of my 30-day challenge of building in public. An online course selling websites today I added rate limiting

Day 1 of the 30-Day Build Challenge 🚀
Started working on our Dev_collab project 👇
The #ENg30DayChallenge (Hard Mode) is officially LIVE.
For the next 30 days, there are no excuses.
Just consistent, daily proof of work.
Whether you're in the Frontend, Backend, or in any other track, the goal is the same: Ship a real-world product by Day 30.
