Titles signify expectations, and expectations are far from meaningless.
For example, achievements that would get a junior engineer promoted are expected to be the normal level of achievement for senior engineers.
- m0zg 8y ago>> Titles signify expectations Only tangentially, and only within a particular organization. That's how they justify the treadmill to you. It is not possible to evaluate "expectations" (or "performance" for that matter) without bias. Titles do not translate across companies. And the most senior person quite often contributes the least to the success of the project. They're often viewed as "having paid their dues", but really, they've mostly been in the right place at the right time. Exceptions are few and far between. Shit, at one point I was "led" by a CTO who couldn't architect his way out of a wet paper bag and showed up at work for a day every two weeks. Very "senior", yet totally worthless.
