书籍介绍
这本书最戳中工程师的，是它点破了一个尴尬现实：爬 Senior 之后，晋升成了例外而非必然，而管理岗那条路又并非人人适合。作者没有给你一张现成的“升职地图”，而是把 Staff Engineer 拆成几类具体画像，让你先看清“这个级别的人到底在干什么”。它真正独特的地方在于那些难以言说、却决定成败的软性动作：如何找到 sponsor、如何“留在房间里”、如何让自己被看见。更难得的是，书中坦诚记录了晋升机制里的摩擦——作者甚至披露，受访女性里有一半靠换公司才拿到 Staff 头衔。这不是鸡汤式的成长指南，而是一套供你批判性对照的思维框架：适合那些已做到 Senior、开始怀疑“我到底该往哪儿走”的工程师，也适合想搞懂团队里高层究竟在忙什么的任何人。

- "Roughly half the women I spoke with had to change companies to attain the Staff title, whereas promotion friction come up less frequently during discussions with men."
- "In most cases, low technical quality isn’t a crisis; it’s the expected normal state."
- "Part of growing as a leader in developing your own perspective on how the world should work, and you can’t reach the Staff-plus level without that perspective."

见识了密集的、新的专有名词。挂起，做查阅工具书。
staff engineer 不只是更好的senior engineer，make impact、find sponsor 、 keep in the room 、 be visible 都挺重要的
值得一看，把我无意识做的事情提炼总结出来。
SDE圣经
只看了采访部分，其他部分真的好枯燥。。大牛的成长经历很有启发，大概知道了职业发展的方向。推荐的各种资源，播客，书籍都很有用。
Case study很有启发
对我来说太早了，但是了解一下senior以上的人整天在干啥也蛮好的。文中很多链接的博客和网站很不错，丰富了我的收藏夹（
