Senior manager. Manages multiple teams. Equivalent calibration to E6 IC.
Director. Equivalent calibration to E7 IC. Strong scope premium at this level.
Senior Director. Org leader. External hires extremely rare; almost always internal promotion.
Meta managers use M-prefixed levels (M1, M2) and Director levels (D1, D2). M1 calibrates with E5; M2 with E6; D1 with E7. Meta is one of the few companies where management can outpay equivalent IC bands in some cases due to scope premiums on D-level roles.
