What do "Staff" and "Principal" levels map to? Is there a "Sr Staff"?

I'm thinking,
E6 / L7 = Staff (org impact, 30-50 people)
E7 / L8 = Sr Staff (multi-org impact, 50-100 people)
E8 / L9 = Principal (company impact, 100+ people)

Thoughts? What's TC band for each?

Meta's E6 = 600k TC + 260k refreshers
E7 = 800k + 400k refreshers
E8 = 💵 (not sure, 1.2M?)

    We don't have titles for levels.

    Senior is L5/6, staff is L6/7, principal is L7+. Typically you need to go plus 1 level at square, L7 is probably close to E6 but with shit refreshes. Too few L8 folks to make a judgement

      What's a typical year like for refreshers? Is that a % of original grant?

      Facebook has formulaic refreshers, combo of your rating and level target refreshers. Square is a free for all - your manager gets some budget and gives an allocation without any formula. The outsized refreshers mostly went to 2021 hires who had huge stock drops, and it's a zero sum game: if your team had lots of new hires, they soaked budget from the others. Similarly, if people are coming up on a cliff, that soaks budget from everyone else - there is a cliff problem because the refreshers are bad. To quantify: post cliff my equity comp will be about 30% of it today without an adjustment.

    L6 = staff, L7 = Principal. But we don’t use the titles internally. Levels.fyi is probably about accurate in terms of mapping levels

    30% considering equity appreciation or without? Thanks for the context! That's very helpful
