Staff and principal work is less about writing more code and more about choosing the right problems, aligning teams, and leaving systems better than you found them. Mentors who have made that leap help you practice those habits before the title shows up.
Promotion packets fail when evidence is vague or scoped too narrowly. A mentor helps you pick bets that read as next-level, document impact managers can defend, and build cross-team visibility without turning into a full-time self-marketer.
Most engineers start with a free intro call, then meet weekly or biweekly through a review cycle. Between sessions you get feedback on design docs, stakeholder updates, and packet drafts.
