In the video, I discussed key factors to become a staff engineer at top tech companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and Uber. Firstly, deep technical expertise is crucial to be seen as a subject matter expert. Secondly, proven leadership experience is essential, showcasing the ability to lead complex projects effectively. Thirdly, building influence within and beyond the team is vital. Additionally, demonstrating a significant business impact quantifiable in monetary value and gaining the trust of your manager are crucial for career growth.

    thanks for providing this gold content ... 99.99% of engineers at good level wont go to the trouble of trying to educate others and spreading knowledge ... it is not their fault but it is what it is

    Hello Aprit, How a person should show that they are competent(When trying to switch) enough? You explained that we should start a research paper. Although I am too interested in reading and solving real problems. Can you please make a video on how to start and where to start? It will better if you explained your stories. Or could you please make a video of current problems? Or may a trend. If you give us an overview that will be helpful. Hope you reply as you did last time.

    when taking on a massive project like a rewrite how do you assign dollar value to that?

    Rewrite is either about performance or maintainability. Performance improvement will have an impact on either user retention or revenue (depending on what your product is). Maintainability will improve your dev cycles, this saving dev hours, which can be quantified by multiplying it by AVG salary.

    Does working at a startup (like in your case Unacademy/ Practo) help climb the corporate ladder faster?

    I feel it's never about working at startup or any other blue chip company. It's always about how much knowledge you have and what you are bringing to the company. Correct me if I'm wrong @Asli Engineering by Arpit Bhayani

    things move slow in big corp compared to a good startup. moving fast gives you a greater hands on experience. so i guess, it would be better than a big corp

    It has indeed helped me purely because of the exposure I got and the impact I was able to make. It is not just about output (coding) but outcomes.

    Do not just grind on DSA. Be curious and explore while ensuring you have enough grasp on DSA.

    Does not cover LLD (only HLD). Check the FAQ section for more details.

    I disagree with the part of profitability. If the business has no customers with a solid product that a staff engineer has built then the engineer can't go hunting for customers. It's the job of product managers to market the product and get customers.

    It is very unlikely that a failed product fetches you a promotion no matter how great the engineering is. Outcome is more important than output for increasing the chance of getting promoted.

    ​@@AsliEngineering well then projects have to be chosen carefully depending on the business impact. I believe an engineer deals with why and how, a PM deals with what and why.
