How to set yourself up for success in a Staff+ engineering role

If you’ve just landed a new Staff+ position, congratulations! Now you need to ask the right questions to make sure you’re ready to deliver maximum value in your new role.

Understanding why your new position was open and why you were hired is the first step to building the context you need to do your job.

In a perfect world, you’ll have an interview process where you can push for answers to make sure there’s a good fit and that you know what you’re getting yourself into. I’ve never had issues asking for skip-level conversations (e.g. with your manager’s manager) or additional meetings with teammates or product managers at this stage.
