Outside of big tech, those titles aren’t common. Level X SWE vs staff vs principal doesn’t mean anything to a lot of people who aren’t in that orbit.

Yes when I started working, "staff" meant entry-level. My first job out of school was a "staff consultant." So I'm always tripped up when I see "staff" used to mean "very senior/experienced"

Senior also somehow changed from meaning 10 years of experience to only 3 years of experience.

Sure, but my point is when someone says staff plus they mean staff or higher. They don’t mean higher than staff, or the best of the best staff engineers.
It just means anyone higher than a senior engineer.
