Being Staff Eng at Ibotta (company I’ve never heard of) to mid level at Stripe is just an indication that titles aren’t equal between all companies. And some companies with “more prestige” simply don’t care for the higher title from your “low prestige” company. This is why titles in general don’t mean anything outside the employer’s office building. A bunch of people yap about their title taking themselves seriously until a better company downlevels them and makes candidates snap back to reality. I’d find it hard to believe that a staff engineer between 2 entirely different companies have the same responsibilities, hence why it’s easy to get downleveled. At some point you have to admit that your staff level work simply isn’t staff level at stripe or the next company you interview at.
Staff engineer in 3 years of work experience? 🤨 Does trading for a higher title work if people can see from your CV that, based on your work experience, you are a middle?
I don't know why, but this session is very insightfull and need to be replicated in any tech companies including in my region (3rd world country)
thanks for uploading this
