You're a Senior Engineer Now — What's Next? [ukr]
This talk explores the journey of growth beyond the Senior Engineer role. Drawing from my own path — from Junior Engineer to leading the Node.js Department — I’ll share personal challenges, lessons learned, and the key turning points that shaped my career.
The session will serve as a practical guide for engineers who have reached the senior level and are asking themselves: What’s the next step? We’ll look at both vertical and lateral growth opportunities, from technical mastery to leadership, from becoming an expert to shaping teams and departments.
