The Happy Engineer helps engineering leaders reach the next level without suffering burnout - because success without fulfillment is failure. You will discover how to redefine work/life balance and lead with purpose, while accelerating your next promotion. Bring a growth mindset, engineers... It's time for personal development before technical development, emotional intelligence (EQ) before IQ, and coaching to crush your comfort zone! If you find yourself asking questions like these, then this show is for you: * How do I decide between a technical career path or management? Can I ever go back? * How do I reignite passion and purpose in my engineering career (or just stop dreading Monday)? * Why am I not getting promoted to Manager / Director / VP (and my peers are)? * How can I increase my salary and total compensation faster? * What should I do if I want to change discipline, industry, or even leave engineering? * What does it take to move from engineering to entrepreneurship? * WHY AM I SO UNHAPPY??? Your host, Zach White, knows how frustrating building your engineering career can be. As an engineer himself, he climbed the corporate ladder. He's seen (and survived) it all. He's felt stuck, been burned out from 80-hour weeks, suffered under a bad boss, and had his career plan thwarted multiple times by corporate reorgs. You know the worst part? He lived below his full potential. Ultimately Zach found incredible success in his career, but it was not without trials, failure, and a rock-bottom experience with burnout. Each week, the former engineering leader, now turned CEO and sought-after Lifestyle Engineering Coach, will help you create an action plan to level up your career while designing a life you love. Enjoy inspiring conversations with experts from all corners of industry and life. Learn how to overcome any career obstacle you face. Get off the road to burnout. Build your career. Balance your life. BE HAPPY!
