There are companies where there is no clear line of career growth. The maximum number of developers is divided into June, middle and senior, but the requirements for each level differ even in the departments of the same company.
This is not the case for the giants of the IT industry - they have clear grades of IT specialists with their own standards and spelled out "technical requirements". We talked with employees of companies of the FAANG level, read the requirements of the companies themselves and made lists of requirements for each grade of IT engineers. You can check which grade you meet. And if they send you an offer with a specific grade, find out what will be expected of you at work.
Something in common about grades and developer requirements in FAANG-level companies
- Abroad, they are very strict about work experience. In Russia, you can graduate from a university, work for a year and get a job somewhere as a middle or even a senior. This is less common abroad - experience in years plays an important role.
