I was under the impression that Staff just meant you have some sort of leadership role, as opposed to just being an individual contributor. Is that not the case

- pc86 5y agoIC just means you don't have reports, and neither Staff nor Principal roles typically have reports.
- throwarayes 5y agoYeah for us it means you have a team tech leadership role. It’s hard to imagine a team where everyone is “leading”. Some people have to be doing. TBH I doubt the actual work people are doing has changed. It’s more about status and salary.
- closeparen 5y agoThe only job in the tech industry that's not some sort of leadership role is Intern. Everyone leads and mentors. Senior Engineers at the level of a single team, with perhaps some cross-team impact. Staff Engineers at the level of an org with several teams.
- ipaddr 5y agoMany are lucky enough to work on their own or with other seniors in their respected domains.
- alpha_squared 5y agoSomeone should tell HBO that, their Staff titles come before Senior Software Engineer, which is very confusing.
- manesioz 5y agoSame with IBM, very confusing
