For those new to *the* budgets, in 2018 in the halls of E3 I first heard the term “quad-A” (AAAA). The industry sector above AAA. The untouchables. Your CoDs, GTAs, TLoUs, GoWs, Diablos.

- Multi-national co-dev
Studio heads, measure seniority in autonomy, not years.
Jnr: Needs support.
Mid: Autonomous, w/support available.
Snr: Autonomy while supporting others.
Lead/Principal: Run a team w/support.
Dept. Director: Run a team autonomously.
