HOW I GOT PROMOTED AS A STAFF SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

This article discusses how a senior frontend engineer and team lead decided to take on more responsibilities at their existing company and worked to get promoted as a staff software engineer. Before asking for more responsibilities, they demonstrated to their CTO that they were excelling at their current role. They then asked for more responsibility and then doubled down on their efforts and shipped more things. The engineer was eventually able to demonstrate undeniably that they were capable of working at a higher level than their current role and pushed for a promotion, which was granted.
