>the response was simply that people quit if they aren't promoted quick enough
Our company has grades instead: J0, J1, P1, S2 etc. So if someone is a junior, they can be "promoted" 2 times (J0 => J1 => J2) before becoming a "pro" (P1), and 2 more times before becoming a senior (P1 => P2 => S1). The official titles are still just "junior engineer", "senior engineer" etc.
As a consequence, since in other companies they often promote just "junior => senior", when we hire someone who was previously a "senior", they are often assigned a junior grade (for example, J2) which often demotivates people
- paxys 4y agoThat's how Microsoft does it. Pay grades range from 59 (SDE) to 80+ (Technical Fellow), and your actual title only changes every 3-4 levels.
