Without a clear path from junior developer to senior, most developers fall into the coding trap:
- You double down on your current programming language to become an "expert"
- You add more tools to your tool belt like a new, more impressive programming language (Rust anyone?)
- You obsess over code quality and writing error free code
- You wonder why you haven't been promoted yet
Plot twist: I am you.
I made all these mistakes and have since gone on to be a senior at multiple companies even though I've rarely been the best coder on any team.
As an engineering manager, I had the privilege of promoting developers to senior and the awkward duty to share with developers why there were NOT getting promoted.
Let's break down how you can shorten your path to senior developer, step by step.
