Senior — это миф? / Почему грейды в IT почти ничего не значат

In this podcast episode, we explore why Junior, Middle, and Senior titles don't always reflect a specialist's actual skills. Is Senior truly an objective level, or does it all depend on the company, its culture, and internal policies? We discuss why the same manager can be considered Senior in one organization and Junior in another. We explore where grades truly help develop employees, and where they become a formality that hinders the evaluation of people based on real results. We discuss what truly influences career growth. Why are interesting challenges, experience, and adaptability often more important than a flashy title? When is it worth striving for the next grade, and when should you seek new opportunities at another company or even change careers? We examine real-life case studies from project and product management, discuss the subjectivity of specialist evaluations, the influence of industry expertise, and explain why uniform requirements for Senior positions are virtually nonexistent. Finally, we share the episode's main conclusion: grades are simply the language a company uses to describe its employees. A specialist's true value is determined not by their title, but by the tasks they can solve and the results they bring to the business. #Podcast #IT #Grades #Junior #Middle #Senior #Lead #Management #ProductManagement #ProjectManagement #Career #CareerGrowth #Job #ITCareer #Manager #SoftSkills #HardSkills #Development #Leadership #Business #CorporateCulture #Interview #HR #Development #Product #Profession #Self-Development #ITJob #Education
