One of the better defined ones I’ve seen is 37signals document. github.com/basecamp/handbook/blob/... Where I work we have an internal document for all levels. I think this will be more common in larger companies but I think all companies should have a document describing levels.
That's so detailed. I only have to ask you about "Usually at least 5-8 years of experience". Don't you think that a senior experience can be less than this "long" years. I know you're talking about experience but that depends on how much the developer/programmer/.. is working per day. any thought about that?
I read it more as a suggestion, not a requirement.
I just realized that the 10000 hour rule (if you believe in it) roughly translates to 5-6 years.
I think they say 5-8 years because that's enough time to make and learn from mistakes and getting experience from different types of projects etc. Diverse experience in other words.
I totally agree, the 1000 hour rule is made by observing the top people in sports , tech .. so yeah I think what are you saying isn't just a point of view , it can be "scientifically" proved.
That's smart Andrew , thanks for sharing ♥
There's a lot of discussion around the 10k hour rule too.. and last I saw it's been scientifically proven to be false. However, I think there is some guidance in it - and I don't know any of the science for or against it. :)
I think that years of experience is good, and most people would probably feel ready to be senior around that time. But the amount of years doesn't necessarily mean that you should be senior.
You could have been a developer for 8 years for example and still have no good leadership skills, unable to manage people etc. You could have less than that but be really good technically and in terms of leadership. I guess it depends on the individual.
I really think that too, it depends , everyone has different circumstances with different goals so someone with 3 years maybe a lot better than someone with 5 years but who isn't really concentrating on learning and working.
