At most technology companies, you'll reach Senior software engineer, the career level for software engineers, in five to eight years. At the career level, your company's career ladder won't 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, we've seen a flurry of books unlocking the engineering management career path, like Camille Fournier's The Manager's Path, Julie Zhuo's The Making of a Manager, Lara Hogan's Resilient Management, and even my own An Elegant Puzzle. The engineering management career isn't 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.

Too much repeated info

As engineer in general, we're told to do the hard things and get promoted. What if the promotion you're looking for is not related to manage, you want to stay in tech roles but don't know how or what roles is beyond seniority.
This book will clear our minds in terms of what and how looking for the next steps in tech roles. Stuff+ engineering roles are key in organizations, don't fooll yourself if your still want to groth outside seniority. Every chapters seemed to me a precious advice in terms of how and wath to do exactly to get your next role in tech.
Finally, the interviews were awesome too. Each experience contributed me as much as the chapters topic. Hope the next gen of stuff+ engineering roles will benefit from this book.
This is the way to get the next level in tech

I'm convinced that this is a book you need a physical copy of to really absorb properly, actually reading with my eyes has been a much better experience
Amazing content, but not for an audiobook format

The interviews with other Staff Engineers part was nice
Well narrated. Worth listening to it in audiobook format.
Only touching the surface

The content was a little bit shallow, the interviews (in the second part) were basically the book repeated with the perspective from staff engineers.
I guess it is ok, there is a lot of interesting points, but maybe not enough content for a complete book.
Ok
