Comment on How I got promoted to staff engineer twice

Comments

I also was staff and senior staff when I held a salary position. To me these are basically bullshit titles created because companies have to keep on promoting people.

It depends on the company. At Sun there were very few senior staff level seats and staff was very hard to get as they required management to really advocate for you. Other companies have a technical ceiling for senior principal but there are absolute gazillions of them.
