Whether a title rose here

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

35%Titles that rose8 of 23 classified people

  • 35%Rose8 people
  • 65%Stayed level or fell15 people

23 of the 27 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 23 of the 27 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. A direction holding fewer than 3 people is printed together with the one next to it, because a bucket that small is a person rather than a pattern.

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.
