How I got promoted to staff engineer twice
(seangoedecke.com)
At the beginning of 2021, Zendesk promoted me to staff software engineer. At the end of 2021 I switched jobs from Zendesk to GitHub. In early 2023, GitHub promoted me to staff software engineer. Successfully going through the staff promotion process twice in two years was a pretty interesting experience, and I think it puts me in a good spot to talk about making the jump from senior to staff1.
