We've seen such ridiculous "grade inflation" in tech and it's really going to hurt us all at some point. Software development struggles for credibility as real engineering work, and a boot camp, 4 years of experience and a couple of jobs is not a senior level engineer.
- leesec 5y agoI believe they call stuff above me Staff, Senior Staff and Principal now, or architect etc. But I don't know what to tell you, that's my title.
- nexuist 5y agoNo, these people are being paid what they're worth. It's everyone below them that is getting stiffed for pay. If your company has >$100B market cap, there is literally no reason why you shouldn't be paying juniors $100k starting at least. If you work on a platform bringing in billions of dollars of revenue per quarter, you deserve to reap the rewards.
- thundergolfer 5y agoThe person you’re replying to seems to only take issue with the title, not the pay?
- astura 5y agoThis dude doesn't even have four years experience, he has more like one year experience four times. You're jumping ship well before you see the results of your architectural and technical decisions so you can't learn from them. I'm not trying to be mean... The title inflation is just absolutely amazing (not in a good way)
