United States Software Engineer

Has anyone who has done ACS skill assessment for Engineering Manager help answer this question

When considering relevant work experience, does ACS count the years when that person was a software engineer, before becoming an software Engineering manager?

Like 5 years of software engineer experience and the last 5 years of software manager experience can get you the max points (8+y) for work experience?

Any pointers are much appreciated

Hi fellow enthusiasts I had lodged application for 190 in nsw for software engineer in Jun 2025. I see that soft eng is in oversupply now across all states. Does this mean that visa grant could be indefinitely delayed?

Or will the lodged folks get visa within 2 years as the website suggests for 190
