Behind the median

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

  • 7%Strong3 people
  • 30%Solid14 people
  • 57%Emerging26 people
  • 7%Unproven3 people

46 of the 46 people here carry an Eng Scorer tier.

Exceptional and strong are the top two of the five tiers. 3 of the 46 people here with a read sit in them, 7%. 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.

Whether a title rose here

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

27%Titles that rose12 of 44 classified people

  • 27%Rose12 people
  • 66%Stayed level29 people
  • 7%Fell3 people

44 of the 46 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 44 of the 46 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.

The 3 most listed schools among the 46 people here with a school on file.

Of the 46 people here with a school on file, 17 list Georgia Tech, 4 list UT Austin and 3 list University of Florida. A person can list more than one school, so these overlap rather than add up.

Public work

37%have a public GitHub account on their profile

17 of the 46 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

39% of the people who have worked at The Home Depot and list a location live in the San Francisco Bay Area today, against 47% of everyone on the map.
