The more senior engineering you get, the less your job is about 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 right.

Jr: can you get to a right answer?
Mid: can you get to one of multiple right answers?
Sr: can you ask the right questions?
EM/Staff+: can you start the right conversations?

This shift isn't intuitive. It feels like you're doing less "real work."

But your impact multiplies when you focus on creating environments where good decisions emerge rather than making all the decisions yourself.
