코딩에서 아키텍트, 프로젝트 프로덕트 오너 매니저가 되는건 코딩을 못해서가 아니라 인정받고 설계를 맡길 수 있는 사람이 되가는 방식으로 되어야 한다
쫒기듯이 되는건 그냥 실력이 없는 거고 팀원의 역량으로 안되는 개발에 대해서는 본인이 책임지고 개발할 수준이 되어야 한다
- 기술적 리딩
- 업무적 리딩
- 생산성 우위
- 난제의 해결
영어가 매우 중요해지는 것은 경력이 성장하여 시니어 엔지니어가 되는 경우
팀을 이끌고 리더나 매니저로서 팀을 대표하여 중요 경영 목표를 달성하고 팀원들을 평가시즌이나 승진 위원회에서 대표해 주어야
생존 영어의 단계를 뛰어넘어 고급진 영어가 필요합니다. 팀원들과 다른팀들에 영향력을 행사하고, 팀의 성과를 자랑스럽게 발표하고, 경우에 따라서는 동기를 부여하는 연설 speech이 필요하기도
Five takeaways from looking for a new senior role in tech
A few months ago, I left SeatGeek without much of a plan of what to do next. My green card was finally issued in 2021, which means that I didn't have to scramble to find a new job in forty days.

The Senior Shift
In most tech companies, the first few levels of an engineering career ladder are pretty straightforward. You must grow from someone who needs a lot of oversight to an independent engineer. You need to develop your best practices and have evidence that your code is of high quality.

A senior role is not about blocking every bad project, but rather strategically preserving credibility and using influence only at truly critical moments.
Why Senior Engineers Let Bad Projects Fail
When I was a junior engineer, my manager would occasionally confide his frustrations to me in our weekly 1:1s. He would point out a project another team was working on and say, “I don’t believe that project will go anywhere, they’re solving the wrong problem.” I used to wonder, “But you are very senior, why don’t you just go and speak to them about your concerns?” It felt like a waste of his influence to not say anything. So it’s quite ironic that I found myself last week explaining to a mentee why I thought a sister team’s project would have to pivot because they’d made a poor early design choice. And he rightfully asked me the same question I had years ago: “why don’t you just tell them your opinion?” It’s been on my mind ever since because I realized I’d changed my stance on it a lot over the years.
