Everything the article describes just feels so arbitrary, almost cargo cultish. You get a pay raise if you're visible and you make the company money? That does make sense, why the job title dances? Why couldn't the author just write an article about how to be a good, impactful developer? Why did it have to be "how to go from $meaningless_job_title to $meaningless_job_title2"? > Staff promotions only happen at a company that has staff roles Does this mean that the companies who don't have staff roles are fundamentally incapable of delivering software of the same quality as the ones who do? Doesn't this actually show how arbitrary job titles are? |

It’s also not true? I was the first “Staff” engineer at my previous company. I think it was just a retention tactic since I was somewhat important to a few major projects at the time. Now I’m a Sr Engineer with less responsibility again and I love it
