There are &#x27;promotions&#x27;, but they&#x27;re basically entirely disconnected from day-to-day work. I&#x27;m a 2; the lead is a 4, my boss is a 6 (all in the technical track). There&#x27;s a separate management track, which has very similar salaries to technical ones (maybe 10-15% higher), which leave you with plenty of time to do technical tasks (management tasks account for 10-50% of a person&#x27;s time, depending on the level of management), and I assume there is a tier where they don&#x27;t disclose the salary structure for &quot;executives&quot; (major organizational leads). I&#x27;ll get promoted to a 3 at some point in the next year or two; then I&#x27;ll be a 3 for a really long time (with annual raises), and eventually get bumped to a 4.
