how to find manager training oppurtunities

I'm assuming you're asking if you'll have opportunity to switch to management after 6 months through a trial EM program.

IMO, this is best discussed with the recruiter—ideally before you start the interview loop or even during. Usually, these programs are run at the eng org level.

No sweat if you didn't discuss with the recruiter. The best way now is to look through Confluence/Notion to see if such a program exists. You can also look at the eng career ladder for the management track. If you haven't discussed this with anyone at your workplace yet, then I would wait for the right time to bring it up in an actual conversation.

That right time might be after you've worked there for a bit and proven yourself. A career chat will inevitably come up at some point, so you can do a temperature check then.

The advantage of such training programs is that your IC spot is usually safe while you try out management. If a formal program is not in place, you can try to work out an informal arrangement with your manager down the line.

Either way, I personally like the safety of testing out the water in this manner, so I encourage you to find out about it in due time and try to make it work at your current workplace.

Shine has covered a bunch of good points. I explored this route when I was an engineer at Facebook, and ended up not going manager route. Here are a couple of extra "two cents".

• If you are interested in manager role, start to "lead and manage" right away (without the title), be in terms of mentoring people, contributing to design discussions, volunteering to talk to other teams etc. Over time, these things get noticed, but even if they are not, you get some invaluable "management experience".
• Talk to your manager to get a sense (explicit or implicit), and also notice other "indicators". How many reportee does your manager have, their scope, are they overwhelmed (e.g., do they have weekly meetings with their reportees).

I don't know your situation in particular, but feel free to get in touch if you want to find out more.
