Both

On LinkedIn IC3. Internally IC4. You’re not allowed to conduct certain types of interviews unless you’re IC4.

Senior sde from dropbox on LinkedIn really meant ic3. What do you put on LinkedIn if you were ic4?

Super Senior SWE

I don’t know where people are claiming the senior title from. It’s all SWE until you hit L5, then you are Staff SWE (then there are titles inside of that, like “principal” etc)

Principal is IC6, and Sr Principal is IC7. Both are actual titles at Dropbox.

Senior's not a title at DBX, people just put it on their LinkedIn to make it more impressive (don't blame them)

Dropbox TheFOMO Jan 18, 2021

Senior is generally IC3 and people tend to put “Tech Lead” if IC4+

Levels across companies are staggered. Dropbox l3 spans across a google senior. L4 would span across high senior at Google or a low staff...

There’s no such title as senior software engineer at Dropbox. You’re either just swe or staff swe If someone claims he is senior, then it can be anything as it’s a made up title
