Senior means different things across companies so if the goal is the title (which it probably shouldn't be), the fastest way to get there is to change companies

Senior means different things across companies so if the goal is the title (which it probably shouldn't be), the fastest way to get there is to change companies - there will be someone willing to hire you with a senior title.
Or at least that was the case until recently, I don't know what's happening with the job market anymore.
- brunooliv 4y agoThanks for the reply, the goal is definitely not the title, the idea is more to see what kind of different things people do in a general way that can push them to higher levels within the same company.
- jstx1 4y agoThe best predictor for upward movement within a company is "does your manager's manager want you to move up". I know that all of this sounds kind of cynical but you can spend years trying to hit implicit and explicit goals for promotion and get nowhere, and you can also move up quite quickly just because someone higher up gave an okay.
