Currently SDE2 at my new company (not Wayfair) and looking at few senior and staff engineers. It seems like the skill gap between different seniors engineers is really wide and maybe less wide in staff engineers. Just wondering, what are qualities that will gain your approval for someone who is senior/staff eng? Ability to solve problems? Tackle vague eng problems? Super technical skill?
I ask senior and staff folks questions API design, scalability, etc and while some have great insight some also just shrug off and don’t really have good answers. I am just confused what I should expect from them and wanted gauge other peoples pov

Just my perception of it all, though. Might not carry across different orgs with different philosophies.
Can go deep/ get up to speed quickly
No stupid questions/ rambling
Can lead monkeys to finish projects
