Senior → Staff/Principal Mentorship — 45 mins

Trying to move from Senior Engineer/Tech Lead to Staff or Principal Engineer?

The expectations change significantly at the next level — it's no longer just about writing great code or owning your team's delivery.

In this 1:1 session, we'll discuss your specific career situation and identify what you need to demonstrate to operate at the next level.

We can cover:

• What Staff/Principal Engineers actually do differently
• Moving from execution to technical leadership
• Architecture and system-level ownership
• Demonstrating engineering impact beyond your immediate team
• Influencing teams and stakeholders without formal authority
• Building technical vision and driving complex initiatives
• Increasing visibility without "self-promotion"
• Identifying gaps in your current experience
• Building a practical roadmap toward Staff/Principal
• Positioning yourself for internal promotion or external opportunities

Best suited for: Senior Software Engineers, Tech Leads and experienced engineers targeting Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer or equivalent roles.

Bring your current role, experience, target role and the challenges you're facing. We'll use the session to work through your specific situation rather than discussing generic career advice.
