I recently got promoted to one of the first staff in our company, and am finding the expectations difficult to pin down. This has been immensely helpful thank you so much for all the content.
they each talked about various and unique aspects of what the nebulous “staff” role is from their individual experiences. he did a good job, but so did each other person. certainly some surfaces scratched, but goodness some goodness.
Agreed. I am looking to hire a staff engineer and his explanation resonates more to our needs. While other staff engineers felt like talking about senior engineers responsibilities
Eh... let's say they move. You no longer get pleasure from closing a ticket but you will get pleasure from seeing a project to completion, improving a system or a process and helping your team succeed.
hello... I worked as an Assistant Professor of Mathematics and statistics for 9 years now i am taking a career transition into Data science... and i have an interview for Staff Engineer ... please help me how to prepare
Are you talking about her claiming that pretty much every engineer at Netflix was on the Staff Level? If so it’s due to Netflix’s hiring practices. Until recently Netflix didn’t hire any engineers with less than two years of experience (and generally it was quite hard to get in without 3-4 years). Netflix has started hiring entry level engineers, but they’re still a very small portion of the company. So Netflix lacks a lot of that lower end of engineering experience that makes up a significant portion of other tech companies.
@@prestonrasmussen1758 yeah but having experience doesnt make you a good engineer. I highly doubt they have that much talent at engineer just because they dont hire entry level engineer. A lot of companies dont. Im like the only entry level engineer in my company

Andrew makes sense as a staff software engineer. He points larger things that a staff engineer needs rather than a senior/mid software engineer needs.

Talk about a diamond in the rough. This was one of the best podcast on this topic I’ve seen. Awesome video!
Thanks for the information. I recently got hired as a Staff Engineer. At least, I know what I'm going into now.
I wish I could have Allison as my mentor. She seems like a really good staff engineer.
That was something different which I just watched, Thank you so much for bringing up next level content 💗💗💗
I needed as a great prep for a life changing staff engineer interview I will have in a week.
Did u get it?
Sadly no. It was with Crunchyroll and the interview process was amazing. I'm a solutions Architect now
I feel if it is a 1:1 interview could be much deeper on the topic.
12:00 - The dopamine triggers disappear when you transition from Senior to Staff

Such a leadership pull to let OKRs drop by the wayside.
If this was an interview, Ras is the hire.

Hello Rad..., how did the interview go? Did the video and discussions help?
Links to the other parts of this series?
Found the playlist on the chanel. Might be smart to add these links within the description
i don't think its vague enough tbh. how about "working worker"? has a better ring to it.
Me, a mid level: WOW I'm absolutely a staff engineer!
I, for one, think Laurie's Lego sets did not get enough attention. 😎
agreed, that was quiet an unfriendly introduction to guest speakers
That what needed
how is it possible that every engineer is on the staff level? how arrogant!

@@prestonrasmussen1758great answer Preston. Thanks for clarifying. Seemed pretty weird to hear her comment without this context.
