I saw this posted elsewhere, but I'm curious about the technologist perspective: at what point are you not considered "entry level"?

From our career docs: When you develop functionally complete parts on your own, when you are able to break down headlines into workable tasks.

Other than that, I like CTO1’s description. Pretty much sums it up.

From a zero exposure standpoint, usually when you get the gist of your own and team’s responsibilities, capabilities, repercussions and role; even if not at a detailed level. You basically understand enough to sustain and take it upon yourself and not be hand held for your own responsibilities. Not saying they should be able to run things by themself but at least know or understand their own and team’s role, that’s when I consider someone not entry level anymore.

Just my opinion and initial thought; and it will likely change.

Personally speaking it’s when you can balance the roles of manager - developer or subject matter expert - and quasi client partner. It’s a balance and a blend, but you don’t need to be the smartest person in the room to be the most senior, it’s how you navigate the ship and support your teams in the most effective and seasoned means. Leadership and guidance through experience, expertise through your own and support from your teams. Knowing when to let those beneath you rise to the occasion... etc.

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?
