Staff+ Engineering Beyond Big Techs: How to Succeed in the Technical Path on Non Tech Companies
As a software engineer with over 15 years of experience, you witness the constant evolution of technology and the impact it has on businesses and industries. In this talk, we will discuss lessons learned and offer insights on how to navigate one's career and overcome challenges as a staff engineer in non Big-tech companies. We will discuss how non-tech companies need to invest in more experienced technical professionals to have competitive advantage and how they can be attractive to Staff+ Engineers. Can a more experienced tech team be the answer that will enable businesses to operate more efficiently and effectively, even in the face of economic uncertainty? Soft skills also play a strong role in Staff+ roles and we'll discuss the importance of cultivating soft skills during your career growth.
