Great read Irina! When becoming a senior it’s really important to become one of the key contributors on the team in terms of coding and running projects.

So often times we think it’s just doing that better to become a staff engineer. But that’s not true.

I love how you shared three keys to moving yo staff - including the one about delegation. That’s always been a hard one for me.

Great read, and looking toward to future articles on this as well.

For job families that require all the leadership skills you mentioned already at a junior level ( for instance, TPM, PM), do you have any advice or insight as to how they can progress beyond senior?

I wonder how large the organisation/team has to be to go beyond junior, mid, senior. I have been working in small to medium organisations and never come across the term "staff". Skills and approach you describe is something I expect "real senior" developer to have. Thank you.
