jorgef's Engineering Ladders

Published on

jorgef has provided a generic ladder framework (Apache License 2.0) for engineering managers to "have meaningful conversations with their direct reports around the expectations of each position and how to plan for the next level in their career ladder." It represents the somewhat common paths and levels for US tech companies.

I used DIRKMJK's radial lollipop chart (MIT License) in D3.js and some dirty JS to make a radar-chart-like comparison for roles and levels. I've included jorgef's ladders for the 4 roles and a small form to create your own.

If the lollipop graph doesn't load, hard refresh the page.
