- disgruntledphd2 11mo agoThat's true, but it's still different with Principal roles as you can't get budget or headcount of your own.

Maybe you can approve expenses up to $500 at a time and get headcount for a couple more people approved from time to time. Not that different from an IC with a strong relationship with directors and VPs getting the same sort of allocations approved for a team/project they work with/are spinning up.
