Which company gives the most valued v.s. inflated job title?
In my opinion, from most valued (conservative) to most inflated: google > facebook > apple > amazon/microsoft > uber > salesforce > linkedIn > yahoo > any unknown startup (I can't think of that many examples. So feel free to include more companies.) I've seen so many cases like a Director-level in a 5000+ ppl company ended up just a Senior (not even Staff or Sr. Staff) at Google. And I've seen cases like a Senior title ex-Googler turned into a Sr. Manager or even Director at User or LinkedIn, etc. Please feel free to give your examples.
> finance consulting companies. All my friends there are VPs.
Don't you guys know that VPs in consulting or banking is equivalent with seniors in IT companies?
Why do you think yahoo is inflated?
I think it was 5 years ago, far less so after Marissa joined, but it's creeping back up.
Freakin ic7s can't do a decent design.
Banks
Uber has very deflated titles imo
Should mention that I don't think it's a big deal as long as you're getting paid your worth
Expedia
I met someone with the "Director of First Impressions" title. Won't name the company to avoid exposing the person.
Amazon has a pretty flat organization. SDE1, SDE2, Senior SDE, Principal, Sr Principal and distinguished (there's only like 5 of these). Manager track is manager, Sr manager, director, VP, SVP, Jeff
So what would be the title for a l7 manager of pm's working for a director?
Sounds like a senior manager
I would swap salesforce and linkedin. Otherwise your order looks right.
IT in banking -> tons of VPs. Oracle -> Principal/Consulting Member of Technical Staff. TBH - I don't even know what these titles map to in other companies but they sound so prestigious.
It really depends on the team. I've seen CMTS that can't code and also CMTS that the company can't go w/o.
