Behind the median

Everyone here with an Eng Scorer read, placed in their caliber tier.

  • 49%Strong or solid19 people
  • 51%Emerging20 people

39 of the 39 people here carry an Eng Scorer tier.

Exceptional and strong are the top two of the five tiers. Fewer than 3 of the 39 people here with a read sit in them, which is too few to print as a count. A tier is the band an Eng Scorer caliber score falls in, so this is the same measurement as the median on the caliber card, opened up. A tier 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.

Whether a title rose here

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

50%Titles that rose17 of 34 classified people

  • 50%Rose17 people
  • 50%Stayed level17 people

34 of the 39 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 34 of the 39 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.

Of the 39 people here with a school on file, 5 list UC Berkeley, 3 list University of Michigan and 3 list University of Washington. A person can list more than one school, so these overlap rather than add up.

Public work

9 of the 39 people here whose profile was checked for public accounts. An account the check did not find reads the same as no account, so this is a floor rather than a census.

Across the 325 companies on the map that can show this figure, the median is 38%.

Where they are now

41% of the people who have worked at Qualtrics and list a location live in the San Francisco Bay Area today, against 47% of everyone on the map.
