Eh, this is a thing, large companies often have internal rules and maximums about how much they can pay any given job title. For example, on our team, everyone we hire is given the role "senior full stack developer", not because they're particularly senior, in some cases we're literally hiring out of college, but because it allows us to pay them better with internal company politics.

My manager gave me a talk about how I couldnt be intermediate because I don't have enough years there. My friend intermediate is about pay and my YOE not about my tenure here (won't be long till I quit)

Very useful rules, I see... impossible to bypass :-)

I prefer to use statisics rather than anecdotal evidence. The stack overflow survey shows full stack pretty far down:

Apparently they can't read their own survey results because DevEx is clearly the highest paid category there but they think it's SRE and cloud

What is a dev advocate really?
