Super interesting question posted today on the #softwarecrafters Slack by
@RiccardoOdone:
"How are companies supporting seniors with the goal of keeping them engaged and
growing?"
My experience has been that is hard to grow vertically and I usually outgrow
companies. >
@RiccardoOdone This is getting discussed as
part of this session at #codefreeze: https://trello.com/c/yumhGRDb - I am out
in the woods, but I am sure there will be material/comments added.
I am most engaged when I have new challenges, but they are adding expertise in a
new domain (grow horizontally).
There is practical no concept of supporting seniors to grow, because by
definition they have peaked. We are asked to grow others (non-seniors). >
While there are bigger companies that have technical expert career tracks
(called Principal Engineers, which are an alternative to the typical managerial
career track) I haven't had the chance to experienced this, yet.
What's your take?
