The Career of a Developer. Staff is Cooler than Senior

Who do you see yourself as in five years? A standard question in an interview. But what if you are a senior software developer and want to continue climbing the career ladder?
For many years, it was believed that the path of a successful developer was to transition into management. But this is not the only option: you can become a technical leader without subordinates. Such specialists are called staff developers; they lead large projects, define technical strategies, and develop the skills of their teammates.

You will learn to manage your time, master strategic thinking, and set standards for technical work. You will discover how to be a leader without holding a formal management position, how to plan and make correct technical decisions, how to elevate the skills of those working alongside you, and at the same time continuously grow as a specialist in your chosen field.
