About Yaron Kfir
Engineering Manager at Ex-Meta
Hi, I'm Yaron. I've spent 20 years in engineering, most recently as an Engineering Manager at Meta. I've hired, coached, and grown EMs from "I just got promoted last week" to "I run a 50-person org and I'm stuck."Twenty years ago I thought being a good engineer was enough. Two decades later, I'm convinced the real leverage is helping the people around you do their best work, and that's why I mentor.What I can help with:
Stepping into your first EM role and surviving the first 90 days Giving feedback that actually lands - up, down, and sideways Hiring, performance conversations, and difficult exits Career transitions: IC → EM, EM → Senior EM, EM → Director Leading through reorgs, layoffs, and ambiguity Building cohesive teams where people want to stay The loneliness, imposter syndrome, and burnout nobody warns you about
Who this is for:
New or aspiring EMs who want a sounding board Mid-level EMs hitting their first scaling wall Senior EMs and Directors who don't have peers to think with Bring a real situation: a stuck 1:1, a feedback you're avoiding, a team that's lost trust. I'll ask more questions than I answer. You'll leave with a next step, not a framework.
Sessions are 30 or 60 minutes.
