Only one nitpick - I remember LE as being around 10% of the org and was strongly suggested to put around 15% on focus so that 6% can be managed out, assuming 50% of people on focus would get out of it.

Source: former L7 manager, now happily out.

So, would an L7 engineer report to an L7 manager? Or there is a sort of limit on what levels would be direct or what levels?

Yes, N level managers manage ICs and managers to N level. There are occasional strange cases where there is a L5 manager with a L6 IC report because of a weird org structure (small engineering team assigned to a non-tech org), but that isn't normal.

You're right--it's been a while. Not all LEs were meant to leave.
