Welcome to your interview for the Engineering Manager role at Akido.
The question is on your right: Handling Overload and Competing Urgency. Take a moment with it first.
Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen. You have three graded attempts to score 7/10 or better.
Your team is overloaded, multiple requests are being framed as urgent, and you need to keep delivery moving without burning out the team or letting priorities drift week to week.
How would you handle a situation where your team is overloaded and everything feels urgent?
