You have been Senior for 3 years. You are doing the work of a Staff engineer. Your resume still reads as Senior. This track closes that gap.
Included in this package: Impact Document Framework (free) + 30-min 1:1 Career Strategy session with Joshua.
I have sat in the calibration rooms at Airbnb, Google, and Microsoft. I know the exact phrase that kills a Staff+ promotion — "strong performer, not sure about Staff level." This track is built to make that phrase impossible.
Your full track lifecycle — work through these in order:
Step 1: Impact Document Framework (included free) Document your leadership impact before you touch anything else. Most engineers skip this. The ones who get promoted do not.
Step 2: Staff+ Narrative Guide - How to position Senior-level output as Staff-level impact. The vocabulary, the framing, the story the calibration room needs to hear. GET HERE

Step 6: Promotion Readiness Kit - The insider framework for engineers already doing Staff work. Scorecard, evidence dossier, packet blueprint, calibration room decoder, and 90-day sprint plan. GET HERE
Step 7: Top 65 Interview Questions 2026 - Behavioural answers at the Staff+ standard. Includes the multiplier effect questions, cross-functional influence scenarios, and ambiguity-handling frameworks that FAANG uses to separate Staff from Senior. GET HERE

The self-serve steps get you 80% there. The 1:1 gets you the last 20% — which is where hiring decisions are made.
