Yeah I don't know when Staff SE became pitched as this lofty leadership position like this, but first half of my career in multiple companies this was basically just next step up in IC positions after Senior SE, not leadership. Principal then after that.
- MuffinFlavored 4y agoWhen does IC (individual contributor) go from "how efficient/effective can you make the other ICs on the team?" I've seen ICs who say "my purpose isn't to code, it's to increase the efficiency of the other ICs on the team who do code, which makes me a 10x engineer, despite not coding, because I increase each team member's individual productivity which is collectively more than I could output individually myself"
- gedy 4y agoCompanies I've been in would call that out as technical leadership track, typically architect and above, but sometimes principal.
