  1. I recently joined big tech as senior engineer and my skip told me that I am not performing at my level. Please do a video on how to perform at senior engineer? Also, what do you think is a practical timeline for matching expectations after joining a new FAANG company as Senior engineer?

  2. Your content is gold. This is just the type of thing I was looking for. Regarding your future videos, it would be great if you could prepare an interview series for senior/staff front-end engineer roles. There is so much content out there for backend systems design but hardly any for web front-end roles. Even the behavioural examples you gave here were regarding backend development! I am an experienced front-end engineer, and I have lead teams as well. I have been getting interview calls from FAANG and FAANG like companies for senior and staff roles, but I find it hard to describe my work in a compelling way that is required from a senior/staff engineer.

  3.  @ALifeEngineered  My manager gave the company handbook which describes responsibilities at senior level, which are general guidelines. I was also told that I should be driving things end to end, have more context, and depth. I believe all this takes time because there are many large teams involved, the code base is large, many tools, processes, etc. In all my 1:1s I am told what some form of this but nothing in terms of concrete, clear actionable items. I am scared to ask specifics because I don't want to seem like I need to be spoon-fed. I was also told to build my "image" amongst my peers.
