There are few books in the market that talk about the effort within and outside of the job that helps software engineers advance in their careers. This book is a truthful and introspective look at technical careers and a consolidation of that information and advice for engineers that are looking to elevate their career to the senior level.

While charting a path to becoming a senior software engineer you'll study how to handle the obligations and complexities involved in that role. While most of the software engineer job is exploratory and involves learning new things nearly every day, this book will show you how to be a manager, a leader, and to achieve seniority in your tech role.

Refactoring: No one writes great code on the first go. You may not write great code on the second or third go either, but we’re going to refactor for efficiency anyway. All the test cases for your LeetCode are passing, so that means you can just submit it, right? You have the right to submit and check it off as done, but you could also attempt to refactor and optimize. Referencing my experience with several FAANG whiteboard interviews, it is common for the interviewer to ask you to give you additional parameters once you have finished it or ask you to optimize it for speed. Now is the time that you can look at your algorithm and figure out where you could get some much need time or memory allocation back.

From learning how to optimize your resume to knowing how to interview for positions on your team to helping your team grow and develop their own skills and career, this is a book that all software engineers need.
