Senior to Staff/Principal is the biggest step: +27%
Senior: most $180K to $236K, full range $153K to $254K, averaging $208K.
Staff/Principal: most $225K to $290K, full range $207K to $353K, averaging $265K.
Pay climbs from $208K at Senior to $265K at Staff/Principal. The bands overlap: the better-paid half of Senior postings reaches into Staff/Principal territory, so the title on the offer is not the whole story.
