As the first terminal level in your career, senior engineers independently solve problems and deliver business value. Many engineers are stuck for years as senior engineers, often receiving feedback like this about their promotion:

- "You don't have enough scope"

- "You're not working strategically enough"

- "You need to drive problems with more technical complexity"

It's easy to hear this and feel stuck. How can I translate this into action?

The promotion beyond Senior Engineer (generally called Staff or Principal Engineer) is not about working faster or longer -- it's about behavior change that enables you to tackle more difficult problems.

Across my 4.5 years working at Meta, I experienced the frustration of failing and then finally achieving the Staff Eng (E6) promotion. This course distills years of my own career experience as an IC, transitioning to management, and talking to 500+ engineers directly to observe patterns that hold engineers back at this critical inflection point.

Course content (6 hours of live class, June 15/16):

- How to know where you stand on the path to promotion.

- How to get (or create) scope on a team with many talented engineers.

- How managers and directors perceive very senior IC roles.

- How to apply frameworks to identify impact that is commensurate with a Staff+ promotion. 

- How to overcome failure modes of attempted Staff promotions.

This course is intended to have value for much longer than the 2 days of live sessions. Each student will receive a complementary Taro Premium membership ($400 value) to expand your network and stay connected to course members. (If you're already in Taro Premium, you'll get a discount in lieu of the 1 year of membership.)
