New grad to senior swe? Or new grad to senior manager. Senior swe always at 3 years I think, senior manager would take 8 years even if you’re gifted

Sorry about that, early here. Meant Senior SWE, thank you! So 3 years is still a set standard even internally?

Questions in title and description don't match

Senior is officially 3 years but top tier juniors will get paid on the same scale as seniors at 2 years

Accenture 👁👄👁♨️ OP May 13, 2021

Gotcha, what metrics are used to qualify a junior as top tier?

Bloomberg RKro65 May 13, 2021

Top tier gets around 20% raise each year I think.

Multiple team and TL impact. Participation in guild and our tech rep program. It’s pretty obvious who the top performers are imo

Bloomberg GOGO<GO> May 15, 2021

oops meant to reply to top tier rating question

Bloomberg 22PM May 15, 2021

You do not need to participate in guild to be a top performer lol

Bloomberg haerski May 15, 2021

There's no concept of levels. 'Senior' is just a title here. If you're good enough, you will be given high visibility projects very quickly.

It takes 3 eval cycles for a fsd to be a senior swe
