I recently blogged about this similar topic (http://jobtipsforgeeks.com/2015/05/20/moremoney/ http://jobtipsforgeeks.com/2015/05/20/moremoney/) and listed a handful of ways to avoid what I referred to as a salary plateau. The basic list was change jobs, get promoted, ask for a raise, brand additional benefits to your hire (network, visibility, etc.), consult/contract, moonlight or add revenue streams, and specialize. I haven't read "Career Superpowers, but it sounds like Whitaker did almost all of these things - moved between Google/Apple, became a nationally recognized authority, specialized, added a revenue stream (book), and got promoted to VP.

Here's my tip to negotiate a significant raise without burning bridges: https://medium.com/@colunchers/how-to-negotiate-a-raise-9166c977645a https://medium.com/@colunchers/how-to-negotiate-a-raise-9166... In the end, your salary is roughly proportional to the number of people you impact. Management is an obvious path, since you directly control a group of people. But senior engineers can give technical direction and influence a lot of more junior engineers without having to be formally their boss. Also known as the technical track at companies such as Intel (principal engineer -> fellow).
