How I'd Get to Senior Engineer Fast (If I Started Over)

How I'd Get to Senior Engineer Fast (If I Started Over)

Too many people think getting to senior engineer means grinding LeetCode and memorizing every design pattern known to man.

Wrong.

I went from bootcamp grad in my thirties to senior engineer to engineering manager, and the thing that got me promoted had almost nothing to do with writing better code.

In this episode I break down what senior engineers actually do differently: how they think about problems, why they say no more than they say yes, and the uncomfortable truth that your communication skills matter more than your ability to reverse a linked list.

If you've been stuck at mid-level wondering what the secret handshake is, this one's for you. Spoiler: there's no handshake. Just a mindset shift most developers never make.

What you'll hear:

  • Why "better coder" is the wrong goal entirely
  • The skill that actually separates seniors from everyone else
  • How to get senior-level trust before you have the title
  • What I screwed up on my own path (so you don't have to)
