+<br />
+<span class='quote'>Last updated 10.8.2023</span><br />
+<br />
+<h2 style='display: inline'>Not a faster Senior Engineer</h2><br />
+<br />
+<ul>
+<li>A Staff engineer is more than just a faster Senior.</li>
+<li>A staff engineer is not a senior engineer but a bit better. (But I want to be a senior engineer but a bit better).</li>
+</ul><br />
+<span>It&#39;s important to know what work or which role most energizes you. A Staff engineer is not a more senior engineer. A Staff engineer also fits into another archetype.</span><br />
+<br />
+<span>As a staff engineer, you are always expected to go beyond your comfort zone and learn new things.</span><br />
+<br />
+<span>Your job sometimes will feel like an SEM and sometimes strangely similar to your senior roles.</span><br />
+<br />
+<span>A Staff engineer is, like a Manager, a leader. However, being a Manager is a specific job. Leaders can apply to any job, especially to Staff engineers.</span><br />
+<br />
+<h2 style='display: inline'>The Balance</h2><br />
+<br />
+<span>The more senior you become, the more responsibility you will have to cope with them in less time. Balance your speed of progress with your personal life, don&#39;t work late hours and don&#39;t skip these personal care events.</span><br />
+<br />
+<span>Do fewer things but do them better. Everything done will accelerate the organization. Everything else will drag it down—quality over quantity.</span><br />
+<br />
+<span>Don&#39;t work at ten things and progress slowly; focus on one thing and finish it.</span><br />
+<br />
+<span>Only spend some of the time firefighting. Have time for deep thinking. Only deep think some of the time. Otherwise, you lose touch with reality.</span><br />
+<br />
+<span>Sebactical: Take at least six months. Otherwise, it won&#39;t be as restored.</span><br />
+<br />
+<h2 style='display: inline'>More things</h2><br />
+<br />
+<ul>
+<li>Provide simple but widely used tools. Complex and powerful tools will have power users but only a very few. All others will not use the tool.</li>
+<li>In meetings, when someone is inactive, try to pull him in. Pull in max one person at a time. Don&#39;t open the discussion to multiple people.</li>
+<li>Get used to writing things down and repeating yourself. You will scale yourself much more.</li>
+<li>Title inflation: skills correspond to work, but the titles don&#39;t.</li>
+</ul><br />
