Why These Numbers Matter

Expectations Are Unclear

Half of all employees don't clearly understand what's expected of them. Performance criteria shift with reorgs, manager changes, and company priorities. You need your own framework.

Progression is Rare

Fewer than 10% of senior-level professionals reach Staff+. The path is ambiguous, highly subjective, and often depends more on visibility than demonstrated competency.

Careers Are Portable

With average tenure of 2-3 years at tech companies, your career memory must survive job changes. Corporate systems don't travel with you.

Internal Promotion is Hard

Two-thirds of Staff-level professionals were promoted internally, but one-third had to leave their company to get the title. Your evidence needs to travel with you.
