I’ve seen your comment below, but you did specify big tech as context in this parent comment, no? Or is „very large tech company“ not FAANG?

Google has Staff at L6, and their ladder goes up to L11. Apple‘s Staff pendant is ICT5, which is below ICT6 and Distinguished. Amazon has E7-E9 above Staff, if you count E6 as Staff. Netflix very recently departed from their flat hierarchy and even they have Principal above Staff.

> Amazon has E7-E9 above Staff

Few clarifications:

Amazon labels levels with "L" rather than "E". Engineering levels are L4 -- L10. Weirdly enough, level L9 does not exist at Amazon. L8 (Director / Senior Principal Engineer) is promoted directly to L10 (VP / Distinguished Engineer)
