Your comparison to a 100eng company seems off.

There are L8s that lead orgs of more than 100 people they'd map to cto or ceo. Indeed given my own experiences, many L6s have L5 TL/M reports. I'd say L7 is the better mapper to vp of eng at a 100 eng company. That allows you to have 2-3 VPs under the CTO.



We're thinking the same scope, just different titles. I'm more familiar with companies that level set as follows:

VP Engineering -> runs the 100 person org <L8 equiv>

Director -> manages managers (30 person org) <L7 equiv>
