Senior to Staff/Principal is the biggest step: +37%
Senior: most $179K to $236K, full range $153K to $238K, averaging $206K.
Staff/Principal: most $223K to $314K, full range $208K to $403K, averaging $283K.
Pay climbs from $206K at Senior to $283K 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.
Premium against the $222K average.
