Beyond the Merge

Insights from a software engineering manager

I’m Justin Otero, a Senior Software Engineering Manager and Career Coach. I’ve played both roles - I’ve been an IC trying to grow and also been an engineering leader trying to grow others.

Beyond the Merge is a free group coaching series I host twice a month to give you a behind-the-scenes look at how engineering leaders think and consider their team's growth—so you can use that insight to tackle workplace challenges.

  • Not sure where you stand with your manager?


  • Wondering how to ask for a raise?

  • How to beat layoffs?

  • Go ahead, ask me anything!

Next Session: Finding opportunities for growth

About the next session

Sessions always have a "Ask me anything" part to it, so at minimum it's great to join just for that part!

We also dive into a specific topic and coach you on how to apply a specific approach and strategy to help you grow in your career.

Thursday, September 4, 2025 @ 6pm PST we will be diving into our:

Opportunity Identifier

- What is it?

- Why do you need it?

- How can you leverage it?

I want to ensure you have a system to help you identify opportunities for growth in your current role and company.
