Comment on Managing Staff-Plus Engineers (2020)parent

Usually there's a pecking order loosely based on the historical Bell Labs hierarchy.

"Staff" is usually a notch below a principal. Usually a principal is expected to demonstrate technical leadership and comp. In some companies I've observed there may be a narrower funnel to principal and another notch where you get more stock or compensation.

I guess depends on the company? Google staff is a good principal at msft

Edit: in Google principal is above staff too, it's just that msft partner is Google principal, and msft principal is Google staff. lol
