What is the difference between Staff versus Senior in a software job title?
Asked by headcircus
In the software world, perhaps others, there is a concept of "senior" engineer and "staff" engineer. Some companies put staff over senior, while others put senior over staff. Which one is higher in rank and what is the difference?

A:

Best Answer:
I've never heard staff above senior (not that it doesn't exist ) Typically a senior title means you are at the top of your field, a business expert. Staff is usually entry level and mid level people. I hope this is helpful.
