>>If, say, a Software Architect and a Senior Director have the same pay and the same perks and the same bonus structure, and it really does take a talented person the same amount of time to climb that high from (say) Software Engineer and Manager, then they're parallel.
I have a doubt: "the same pay and the same perks" things seem okay but "the same bonus structure" seems difficult to understand.
A manager has more visibility, more access to business info then he/she will have more chance to be eligible to "bonus" than an engineer has.
So, it'd great if you elaborate on how a Software Engineer and a supposedly equal Manager can have "the same bonus structure".
- chillydawg 10y agoTo be fair, he was talking about a Software Architect, who tend to work cross team and have a broader view than an engineer coding away in a given team.
- jonlucc 10y agoIn my company (pharma, not tech), the bonus structure is based on salary and some multiplier. The multiplier is the same across the entire company and is based on key performance factors from several departments. For 2 employees with the same base salary, their bonuses will be the same regardless of job title.
