> I suggest to SDE IIs who are hungry for the jump to senior

Any suggestions for seniors who are hungry for a staff title. Is there any value to specializing in tech anymore after senior or is it all 'soft skills' at this point ?

It is not all any one thing. If you’re completely lacking in soft skills, you’ll probably have more trouble the higher up you go, and you may get stuck at some point. Hard technical skills become less important the higher you go, but even the CEO of a tech company probably still needs to have some basic understanding of technology. Being good at both things is obviously the best way forward.

I enjoyed this: https://staffeng.com/book

Not a staff though so can't attest to how true/accurate/effective it is.
