As a young engineer, I expect to get promoted quickly because that's what I see happening pretty commonly for other people. The kicker is that most people who get these titles quickly don't even seem to be exceptional. It's pure inflation.

It's likely I'll end up with the title of Senior with ~3 YOE at a big tech co. I think it's extremely dumb and feel like Senior and sometimes Staff titles are often undeserved, but it feels like if you don't play along you're just falling behind.
