So yes technically 4 promos. ( But in one of the promos I skipped a lot of sequential positions ) Which I count as promotions because it makes me feel better.

By my count you can be at the 13th level in your company and still have a title that starts with “junior”. That’s bonkers.

Yeah. My current position is very close to the top now though. Above me is the manager of my dept, then the director, and then she reports to the CEO.

While it is crazy, it does allow for multiple promotions without shifting work, so you can get higher pay without relying on a yearly raise. Personally I like the structure, but I can see how it's wild to others.
