Fractional CTO and Homebrew Project Leader| Mike McQuaid
In 2020, GitHub promoted me from Senior to Staff Engineer. This title and role seems commonplace and well understood at some technology companies but unknown and unused at many others.| Mike McQuaid
I’ve been very lucky to have some great mentors and mentees in my time at GitHub. Through weekly 1:1s with @seejohnrun explaining to me what a staff engineer should (and should not) be doing I was able to get the role and (hopefully!) do a reasonable job at it. Currently, I’m lucky to have regular mentorship from @eileencodes who guides me on how to think about the most important work I could be doing and avoid pitfalls that I would not otherwise have seen.| Mike McQuaid
