Can not agree more.

Anyone wonder why IC starts at level 3 but managers start at level 5? It's not because they're separate but equal.

My experience at most tech companies (Amazon, Google, etc), to become a manager you need to demonstrate that you have the technical ability to perform at senior(ish) level IC before you become a manager. i.e. You go from L5 IC to L5 Manager. Not L3/L4 IC to L5 manager.
