This is a fantastic article and I have shared it with many, many engineers in the past. It's one of those totally counterintuitive things about career growth. It's all about accumulating scope as one grows into a senior-level role. Then everything flips, and one's seniority tends to grow proportional to the amount of scope one gives away (therefore enabling others to work on larger-scope initiatives). Applies to managers as well as individual contributors.
