There's also the issue of developer titles not being standard.
As you say at Intel: SE -> Senior SE -> Staff SE -> Senior Staff SE -> Principal Engineer
IBM has: Engineer -> Staff -> Advisory -> Senior -> Senior Member of Technical Staff -> Distinguished Engineer.
I'm sure other companies have different ranks too.
Unless you dig into the technical ladder of each company, its hard to say that Staff SE is the same everywhere.
- glangdale 10y agoFair enough, and there's a legit argument that even identical titles from two given companies doesn't necessarily mean a automatic equivalence. That being said, when the scales are roughly equivalent, someone approaching you with a job offer 2-3 grades below where you are now is just embarrassing - you know, it's typical to offer a promotion to jump ship.
