you're waiting for the perfect career plan to reveal itself.

reading another framework. watching another YT video. booking another coffee chat to "pick someone's brain." hoping that one day you'll wake up knowing exactly what role you want next and how to get there.

meanwhile 3 months pass.

then six. you're no clearer than when you started.

let me tell you something you already know

career clarity isn't discovered. it's manufactured.

through systematic actions.

through building proof before you know where it leads.

through running experiments that reveal what you're actually good at versus what you think you want.

the people crushing their careers right now?

they started building before they knew the destination.

here's what you'll get today:

1. exact skills separating you from n+1 stop guessing what "senior" or "staff" means. i'll show you the exact competencies.

2. a clear action plan

a 12 month plan of what you should do every 2 weeks.

3. building an accountability engine

why surrounding yourself with like minded folks creates an unfair advantage

1/ the exact skills you need to level up

you mapped your n to n+5 yesterday. know you're a senior engineer. know you need staff level for that bangalore house.

but what exactly separates senior from staff?

most people guess. "probably need to be more strategic." "maybe lead bigger projects." "should mentor more."

wrong.

there are specific, measurable competencies. and until you know them, you're shooting blind.

example: senior to staff engineer

senior: owns single system architecture

staff: designs multi system architecture

senior: team technical leadership

staff: org wide technical influence

senior: tactical problem solving staff: strategic technical vision

not vague. specific. measurable. buildable.

once you know the gaps, you can build proof. but knowing isn't enough.

2/ momentum is everything.

for a second i want you to forget everything you know about career planning. no five year roadmaps. no annual goals. no perfect strategies.

you want to work in two week sprints. just like shipping products.
