THE STORY

Michał’s Path To Senior

  1. 01

    Michał had written off full-stack offers. Frontend was his lane. Backend felt like someone else's job.

  2. 02

    He worked through the other half anyway: backend fundamentals, databases, APIs, cloud.

  3. 03

    Then the offer came. Full stack. The one he thought was impossible.

  4. 04

    Senior Frontend Developer in Wrocław, now with range across the stack. And a salary increase.

THE SENIOR JOURNEY

The senior skills Michał built

Getting to senior isn’t about learning another framework. Michał’s path covered the dimensions that actually move an engineer up a level — the same areas theSeniorDev coaches every member through:

01

System Design & Frontend System Design

Michał learned to lead system design and frontend system design discussions — scalability, data flow, and architecture trade-offs — the conversations that separate a senior senior frontend developer from a mid-level one.

02

Technical & Live-Coding Interviews

Instead of memorising answers, Michał built a repeatable process for technical interviews, live-coding challenges, and take-home tasks — shipping production-ready solutions under pressure.

03

Fundamentals: Testing, Performance & Software Architecture

Michał went deep on the senior fundamentals — testing, performance, and software architecture — and the mental models that outlast any framework or library.

04

The Architect's Mindset

Michał developed an architect's mindset: making technical decisions, driving architectural discussions, and holding their own with staff engineers and CTOs.

05

Selling Yourself & Communicating Senior-Level Value

Michał learned to communicate real engineering value — a senior-level CV, LinkedIn, and STAR interview stories — so the level showed long before the offer landed.
