(no title)

Titles are often relative to an orgs size. At a 4 person company I was a director in my twenties. At a 10,000 person company I was a staff engineer in my 30's. At a 150,000 person company I was a senior software engineer (i think? i don't think I ever knew my title, the titles of the people I worked with, or my managers title). I've had a "worse" title at each job while each job was a significant step up from the previous.

At Goldman Sachs, being named Senior Engineer is like receiving a knighthood.

Huh? I thought it was the over way around? Almost everyone at Goldman Sachs is a Vice President. Being just a senior must be extremely low down?
