Im at a point in my life where I enjoy the challenges of the IC route, have no intention to change tracks to management but interested in advancing my career.

However, as I look toward my next career jump, the advice summarized I get is “needs to have organizational impact”.

Put blantantly, im assigned work, assigned teams to help, assigned scope. Impact is basically predetermined.

Looking to understand how folks in the community have demonstrated this in their respective companies to achieve roles past l6.

TC: ~350k / 15yoe

Edit: Not really interested in increasing comp(I understand its important), more interested in strategies or ways of thinking that helped them

Edit2: To avoid confusion, when I refer to L6, im referring to the staff designation in most companies. That is SWE5 at Adobe
