“After growing to Senior Engineer, it feels like you hit a ceiling, and there are no next steps”. Throughout my 12-year career in the engineering industry, I had a lot of conversations with engineers that brought up this concern. And I used to believe that as well. I thought

Growing from an engineer to a lead role requires a mindset shift. You become a multiplier for the team and helping others around you becomes one of the main priorities. You are not judged by your individual contribution anymore. The overall success of the team and projects

As an engineering leader, it's really important to focus on vision and align strategy to it. Especially if the organization is growing and scaling. Soon these questions start coming up: - Why are we doing what we’re doing? - Why work on this project and not on the other? -
