This is an excellent article on the nuances of corporate politics without assigning judgement to it - it's simply the nature of the beast with corporate and has some very clear laws to it when viewed at the right angle.

Nice one -- will look at some of the author's other posts. :)

If you haven’t read Will Larson’s writing before, congrats - you have just stumbled upon lots of great content! Not many people write content specifically targeted at the Senior->Staff transition.

He has a book called Staff Engineer which is partly “best hits” from the blog and partly expanded material, which is a good place to start; I find it a bit more focused and well-ordered than the blog (which I also dig, to be clear).

Will absolutely look into the Staff Engineer book; personally prefer dead tree books to anything digital if there's the option. Thank you sincerely for giving me the heads up!
