Principal is L65-66, Senior is L63-64. The vast majority of folks hit a ceiling at 64, as it can be quite difficult to get promoted to 65. It’s a major ceiling within the company (have worked with many folks who have been there ~25 years and haven’t progressed past senior). At L65 you’re generally considered part of the extended leadership team in your org regardless of whether you manage people or not. Expectations of the role are a lot higher than a 64, but if you’ve got the experience and chops to be strategic AND execute, then you’re better off coming in at L65.

People manager roles aren’t limited to only a handful of levels. Both seniors and principals can be managers, and both can be ICs, depending on the org and the scope of the role. Look at the JDs for specific experience in directly managing people to help determine if it’s a people manager role.

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
