Course description

"Senior Software Engineer" is a title that sounds impressive and is a goal every engineer aspires to achieve. High-class senior engineers are in great demand in tech companies, especially in large ones, as there just aren't enough of them. During the pandemic, many people rushed into IT, resulting in the average engineer now being at the mid-level. If you are a senior engineer, you are special.

Nonetheless, getting promoted to senior engineer is an extremely difficult task, especially in FAANG companies. Many engineers face challenges transitioning from Meta level E4 to E5 and from Google level L4 to L5. The move from SDE 2 to SDE 3 at Amazon is considered the hardest of all promotions that engineers might encounter, and it can take up to 10 years.

Why is this transition so disappointing, becoming the first promotion that 95%+ of engineers encounter? Because the move from a mid-level engineer to a senior engineer requires a fundamental change in dynamics, which this course thoroughly examines. By the end of the course, you will:

  • Fully understand the difference between a mid-level engineer and a senior engineer
  • Master the correct work approach required of a senior engineer
  • Be able to identify your technical gaps to meet the senior engineer level
  • Find the key gaps needed to reach the senior engineer level
