I strongly recommend reading Tanya's book The Staff Engineer's Path (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/61058107 https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/61058107). I haven't read Larson's book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56481725-staff-engineer https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56481725-staff-engineer), so can't comment on that. If anyone has read both I would love to hear the differences.
