I used to be in group A but now I'm probably in group B. If I compare title/rank between engineering and managerial tracks where I work, there are many, many more people sitting at that rank in management than there are in engineering. The rank confers all sorts of things in terms of pay, chiefly it's used for determining our performance bonuses. I suspect that engineers are just being played by our corporate overlords but I'm not inside of the management beast to know for sure.
- ghaff 5y agoHaving a good IC advancement track is somewhat orthogonal to a focus on specific titles across companies though. I've always been an IC and I mostly haven't even used whatever my official title was--and might even have had to look it up.
- _drimzy 5y agoIf there is an IC advancement track then the titles don't matter. All the discussion around titles is specifically to have an IC advancement track, which very few companies have.
