I'm not qualified to write this post, yet. I'm not a Staff Engineer yet. Although of the things I've ever really set my sights on, my track record is pretty impeccable, so I'd estimate my odds are good. I also hope to have another few decades in this...

Good one 👏
Although I enjoyed Will Larson’s book, I found Tanya Reilly’s The Staff Engineer's Path: A Guide For Individual Contributors Navigating Growth and Change (goodreads.com/book/show/61058107-the-staff-engine…) was much more actionable (even to reflect/recalibrate at this level)
I’m sure you’ll love this read
