2 most common titles, by people who held them.

Whether a title rose here

The level of the first title recorded here, against the last.

35%Titles that rose7 of 20 classified people

  • 35%Rose7 people
  • 65%Stayed level13 people

20 of the 22 people here had a title that could be placed on the ladder before and after.

A title rose when the last title recorded here sits higher on the ladder than the first; for someone who recorded one title here and then left, it is measured against the first title of their next role. The ladder runs intern, junior, mid, senior, staff or manager, principal, director, VP, then founder or C-level. A title that matches no rung is left out rather than guessed, and product, program and project managers are left out entirely, being a different ladder. That leaves 20 of the 22 people here classified, and it leans towards people who have left: someone still here on a single recorded title has nothing to be measured against.

Where they studied

The 2 most listed schools among the 22 people here with a school on file.

Of the 22 people here with a school on file, 5 list Stanford and 5 list UC Berkeley. A person can list more than one school, so these overlap rather than add up.

Public work

Not enough of the record here has been checked.This share needs 30 people whose profile was checked for public accounts, and there are fewer than that here.

Where they live now, from the profile as it reads today, not where they sat while they worked at GRAIL: a metro here does not mean the company has an office in it. The lower strip is the same metros across the whole map, for comparison.
