If by mid level you mean well tenured L6, then sure.
If by mid level you mean actual mid level, like L4, then no.
If by typical you mean someone not working at Google or Facebook, then no.
- jeffbee 6y agoI don’t think l6 is a good definition of typical. Only 10% of SWEs are at 6 and above. 50% are at least L5, making that the median grade, and therefore a pretty good definition of “typical”.
