>> I worked 6 years in that company. I had to look back at these 6 years and try to put the “correct” titles to each period of time:
>> - Web developer at the beginning
>> - Senior software engineer afterward
>> - Tech lead when I was leading my own product and a tiny team
And here lays the problem. Claiming that title after 2 years is a joke and devalues the whole thing. It only makes sense if you moved to Mexico and automatically became Señor software engineer otherwise you're making a fool of yourself.
I stopped reading after this as it's a mix of ridiculousness mixed with lack of awareness. Should also change the title to "The Curse of the Señor Software Engineer".
- gostintheshell 3y agoIf you show up for your shifts a few weeks in a row you are an assistant manager or a shift manager at a fast food restaurant.. After a year you've dealt with some things that would make a maître d' blush if they saw them in ten years of work. If we refused to let the food service industry create distinctions for itself there would probably be a lot of frustrated HR people but a little more mobility.. In many respects the BS of the tech industry is really a refusal to accept a larger universally accepted structure of BS.
