On: “Location-Based Pay” – Who are we to complain?

[lokar]

As a data point, in big tech the Sr staff (L7 at G/FB) and higher is no more then 2% if ICs.

For anyone confused, “senior staff” is L7 and rare but “senior” is L5 and usually a majority of SWEs.

Correct. Sr/5 is the expected terminal level for most. Both FB and G expect steady progress to that level or you get fired (if you really can't make it).

L4 is terminal at Google now afaik, but same concept.

Did that change?
