In a lot of newer tech companies it's more of a lateral move at the senior level (e.g. SE3 == EM1). I've worked at a few companies now where I've managed engineers who make more than I do.
It's a different set of skills, you're specializing in people vs code. Companies that stack management on top of IC are basically forcing their best engineers to either go into management or leave for a company that doesn't do this.

Not really. FAANGs - and few more - have been doing for a time longer than I know of.

Again, not really! Amazon does stack rank and they can't afford to force out their best engineers. I'm aware their culture is demanding and that's purpose built, but that does not imply what you are saying. Check their levels here - https://www.levels.fyi/companies/amazon/salaries/software-en...

Tech Stack: We’re primarily a Python shop, using Django for our websites. We also have a few services written in Go and have started to build out our front ends using React. We use Github to host our code, Jenkins (for now) to automate our tests, and right now most of our applications and code live in VMs in a Colo just outside of Toronto. We’re in the process of transitioning to AWS. Other common technologies we use are Postgres (primary DBs), Redis (cache and key/value store), RabbitMQ (messaging broker) and Celery (task queue).

I work with most of the tech stack you have listed (Python, Django, some React, Redis, RabbitMQ, Celery, MySQL) but still a junior (~1 year exp), any plans on hiring on juniors/should I still apply despite qualifications falling short?
What another load of crap. Call it something else but this isn't Python. I'd never use this because it's not official. Who knows if or how long it'd be supported for or if any backdoors would/could be introduced.
I've scheduled time this year for my teams project to update to Python 3. It's expensive in the short term but in the long term we get continued support and new features which is a huge win.
