> Extremely seasoned professional. Able to solve most issues and problems. Uses skills to drive company objectives and achieve goals.

> Typical Experience: 4–7 years

This industry is just wild.

Regardless, this is an extremely large number of words trying to formalize a system that simply doesn't exist. There is absolutely no consistency across companies regarding titles, levels, role expectations, growth expectations, parallel ladders. There is no actionable advice except "understand the career progression system at the company you work at or the companies you apply to." That's it.

That said, there may be a nuanced take towards the end but I hit a login-wall when I was about halfway through.
