A five-week, five-session Maven cohort on the mechanics of going from senior developer to first-time manager: feedback, 1:1s, delegation. It suits someone promoted in the last year who wants structure for EUR 500 rather than a year-long membership. Check the live session times (3:30 to 5:30 PM UTC) against your calendar, since the refund window closes at the end of week two.

Outcomes
This program does not publish job-placement or salary outcomes. Treat any number you hear from admissions as unverifiable.
Interview-prep depth
1 / 5
Public syllabus (27 lessons across 5 weeks) covers feedback, 1:1s and management traps; nothing on interviewing.
Whatever the program covers, the interview itself is free to prepare for here: coding patterns, system design, practice prompts, company guides.
What a careful reader should know
Instructor bio on Maven reads 'GM, PM and Frontend Dev'. Maven's category page for Engineering Leadership showed only four cohort courses on 2026-10-08, and this is the only one aimed squarely at the developer-to-manager transition. Taro's 'Senior to Staff' (Rahul Pandey) was previously sold on Maven and its page now says 'This course is no longer available.'
