Kurzbeschreibung: At most technology companies, youll reach Senior software engineer, the career level for software engineers, in five to eight years. At the career level, your companys career ladder wont require that you work towards the next promotion; being promoted further is an exception rather than expected. This is also when many engineers are first given an opportunity to move into engineering management. Over the past few years, weve seen a flurry of books unlocking the engineering management career path, like Camille Fourniers The Managers Path, Julie Zhuos The Making of a Manager, Lara Hogans Resilient Management, and even my own An Elegant Puzzle. The engineering management career isnt an easy one, but there are maps available to help navigate it. What if you want to advance your career without becoming an engineering manager? The technical leadership path remains relatively undocumented, hard to navigate, and inconsistent across companies. Staff Engineer is your guide to building your career towards a staff engineering role, receiving the title, and succeeding within the role.
