书籍简介：

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.

书友短评：

@ 三七李 也是老板推荐给组里的, 可以在网站上看大部分内容? https://staffeng.com/Guide部分有些章节讲得不错, 其中有一半是说怎么到stuff level(所以书名也有些误导)~ 个人比较喜欢story部分, 也能看出大厂和startup的staff经历差别还是很大 但daily job其实还是很像的. @ 绿袜子 可以直接在https://staffeng.com/上看 @ Bis 全五星推荐 还买了一本给同事 @ 王长史登茅山 只看了采访部分，其他部分真的好枯燥。。大牛的成长经历很有启发，大概知道了职业发展的方向。推荐的各种资源，播客，书籍都很有用。 @ メマイ SDE圣经 @ 略显疲惫 staff engineer 不只是更好的senior engineer，make impact、find sponsor 、 keep in the room 、 be visible 都挺重要的 @ 补天手 Case study很有启发 @ 三七李 对我来说太早了，但是了解一下senior以上的人整天在干啥也蛮好的。文中很多链接的博客和网站很不错，丰富了我的收藏夹（ @ Lo I guess I'm already doing most of these? There's definitely room to do things better though.
