    After I transitioned to management, I often found myself as the only engineer in meetings where technical issues were decided by those completely unqualified. Sometimes you can steer the decision to something…

    Never been a conforting feeling to be the only one eng. of the group. As DAB very well pointed, there are always the ones unqualified for the job that take the decisions and often make them from political points of view and not from the right point of view. There's never a good idea to have two or more engineers either, hence you will confront with more ideas and alot different approaches which the determining factor (manager) will probably take in account the most uninspired one based on a third-party assessments.
