It really feels like the objective for growth is just to wait, and not based on actual skills. Not sure if this is a good metric tbh, years of experience have a lot to do with type of challenges, and type of challenges have a lot to do with environment and architectures. you can be working 10 years on a small flower shop or building a huge distributed system that can handle crazy traffic or have really complex business logic. The worst thing to me is that it encourages engineers to focus on less risky challenges since the complexity of the work does not contribute to experience.
