Hi

I am thinking that if I also start to show the basics of a staff engineer, it might be helpful to reach a senior engineer status.

    Storytime! When I received a new textbook in high school or college, I'd immediately read the index and also flip through the book to read the chapter names and headlines. Within a few minutes, you can get a really good sense of what is covered and when.

    This also gives your brain a chance to start processing the information in the background πŸ˜…

    This hack lets you quickly comprehend any subject, whether you're a student or a professional software engineer.

    Do the same thing here: go through the lesson names for the Senior to Staff course and watch the first video.

    Definitely, if you can start implementing staff level behaviors as soon as possible, it will make your time at senior go by more smoothly.

    It wouldn't hurt, but I highly recommend going through the mid-level to senior course first: [Course] Grow From Mid-Level To Senior Engineer: L4 To L5

    This way you'll understand how the behavioral evolutions build on top of one another. Also, if you're on the higher-end of mid-level, the senior to staff course will be more applicable to you.
