That bubble is not the world, I exist outside the ladder and I am legion.

- mixologic 10mo agoYeah, no. Most companies do not have that exact hierarchy. Maybe at FAMGA etc, but most engineering jobs are not there.
- browningstreet 10mo agoSure, not that exact hierarchy. But a hierarchy. At other places it might be Senior, Principal, Director, etc. at some places they’re given, at other places you fight for it. Variations of leveling.
