Read the work behind the level
Nextmove assigns the senior level from its reading of the job description. Employers can use senior for different responsibilities, products, and locations. Look for the scope the role owns, including customer outcomes, production delivery, technical decisions, mentoring, travel, and coordination with sales or product. Another title may describe similar work.
Open current senior FDE jobs to inspect the source listings. Ask what technical and customer decisions you will own, whether mentoring or people management is expected, and how much production ownership and travel the team expects. Confirm which location and level the salary range applies to.
