My employer attempts to solve this by offering several overlapping tracks.
Engineer (junior through principal) - screenshot of code
Architect (mid-career through principal) - screenshot of system diagram alongside code that implements part of the diagram
Technical Fellow (principal+, considered equivalent to directors, but still IC) - screenshot of system diagram alongside overbooked calendar
Manager (mid-career+) - overbooked calendar, maybe an IDE on a light day
And also product managers and business analysts and others.

- alistairSH 4y agoHa. I wish my calendar was more open. And even when it is a bit more open, I’m often too distracted to write production-worthy code. I can bang out a PoC or do some design work, but sitting down to bang out code just doesn’t happen much any more. Sometimes I think I should go back to being an IC. It was much less stressful and not much less money (vs being a senior manager).
