I am believer in promoting from within for the most part.
At the companies I have worked at, hiring people directly into principal roles hasn't worked well. Invariably, they struggle to fulfill that role because they don't have enough knowledge about the inner workings, code base, etc.
It usually takes them at least a year before they contribute at their level.
