Mid to Senior Level Engineer - Engineering Manager's Advice

As software engineers, one thing that's important for all of us is understanding our career progression. Unfortunately, this can be a difficult thing for many of us to manage, especially in mid-level engineering positions trying to work toward more senior software engineering roles. As an engineering manager for over a decade, I wanted to be able to offer you my suggestions on going from a mid-level to a senior-level software engineer. While I can't promise you that this will get you promoted (nobody can), I can stand behind this being the advice I give to the engineers that I manage.
