Senior to Staff Engineer: September Check-In
Event details
Event description
Many engineers are stuck for years as senior engineers, the first terminal level in your career. How do you go beyond Senior Engineer?
The most common reasons for a failed Staff Engineer promotion are:
- "You don't have enough scope"
- "You're not working strategically enough"
- "You need to drive problems with more technical complexity"
This session is to discuss your progress on the above issues, as discussed in the Senior to Staff course. Come with your questions and discussions. If you'd like to share a story or experience, please message Rahul in the Taro Premium Slack.
Some topics we'll discuss:
- How to know where you stand on the path to promotion.
- How to get (or create) scope on a team with many talented engineers.
- How managers and directors perceive very senior IC roles.
