What are your main responsibilities within your current role?
I am a manager, and my main responsibilities involve interacting with teams and a lot of collaboration and communication. My primary responsibilities are with the people who directly work under me.
My current position has evolved over the years. I started as an individual contributor doing a lot of technical work.
