Within Google: Treynor’s curve is a hiring concept. Once in, you’re doing literally the same job. Being in a team doing greenfield development it took me three years to notice that my TL, with whom we’ve been defining the mathematical model, designing and implementing the system, is on the SysEng ladder.

ok, but you don't tho (i'm sure there are exceptions). if you do, you will have issues with promo (ask me how i know) so if you don't care about that then sure. also if you're se, you had to interview to transfer out of sre to a pure swe role. i personally didn't have this particular problem but saw a few folks that did.
