Research from Culture Amp has shown having career opportunities in front of you is the single most important thing for someone's commitment to staying at a company... but after you've reached "senior" it's not always obvious what the next opportunity could even be. In this talk we'll explore - What various engineering job titles mean: staff engineer, principal engineer, team lead, tech lead, engineering manager and more. - The kinds of skills that will make you more valuable to the business and justify a promotion. - How it looks different at big companies and small companies or startups. - How skills from parallel roles in design, product management, coaching and more can help. - Whether you're interested in the "manager" or "individual contributor" path, or if you can have the best of both worlds.
