Showing results for "Engineers" in Business & Careers

For years, companies have rewarded their most effective engineers with management positions. But treating management as the default path for an engineer with leadership ability doesn't serve the industry well—or the engineer. The staff engineer's path allows engineers to contribute at a high level as role models, driving big projects, determining technical strategy, and raising everyone's skills. This in-depth book shows you how to understand your role, manage your time, master strategic thinking, and set the standard for technical work.

At most technology companies, you'll reach Senior software engineer, the career level for software engineers, in five to eight years.

This is also when many engineers are first given an opportunity to move into engineering management.

At some point in your career, you'll realize there's more to being a software engineer than dealing with code.

You'll learn how to handle baffling circumstances in your job, understand what you want from your career, and discover how to thrive in your workplace.
