EXEMPLARY PRACTITIONER
Principal Engineers are hands-on and lead by example. We deliver artifacts that set the standard for engineering excellence, from designs to algorithms to implementations. Only by being close to the details can we earn the respect needed to be effective technical leaders.
TECHNICALLY FEARLESS
Amazon’s startup culture does not admit the luxury of conservatism. Principal Engineers tackle intrinsically hard problems, venturing beyond comfortable approaches when necessary. We acquire expertise as needed, pioneer new spaces, and inspire others as to what's possible.
LEAD WITH EMPATHY
Principal Engineers shape an inclusive engineering culture where others are heard, feel respected, and are empowered. We are conscious of how our words and demeanor impact others, especially those with less influence; we take responsibility for that impact, intentional or otherwise. Our work builds productive relationships across teams and disciplines, and across a wide range of life experiences.
BALANCED AND PRAGMATIC
Principal Engineers are pragmatic problem solvers. We apply judgment and experience to balance trade-offs between competing interests. We simplify processes and technologies while advocating a long-term view.
ILLUMINATE AND CLARIFY
Principal Engineers bring clarity to complexity and demonstrate smart ways to simplify. We frame each problem in its customer and business context and boil it down to its essence. We probe assumptions, illuminate pitfalls, and foster shared understanding. We accelerate progress by driving crisp and timely decisions.
FLEXIBLE IN APPROACH
Principal Engineers adapt our approach to meet the needs of the team, project, and product. We solicit differing views and are willing to change our minds as we learn more. We recognize there are often many viable solutions, and that sometimes the best solution is to solve a different problem, or to not solve the problem at all.
RESPECT WHAT CAME BEFORE
Principal Engineers are grateful to our predecessors. We appreciate the value of working systems and the lessons they embody. We understand that many problems are not essentially new.
LEARN, EDUCATE, AND ADVOCATE
Principal Engineers are constantly learning. We seek technical knowledge and educate the entire organization about trends, technologies, and approaches. We combine vision and discretion to drive fruitful and even game-changing technology choices.
HAVE RESOUNDING IMPACT
Deliver Results is a low bar for a Principal Engineer. Without seeking the spotlight, Principal Engineers make a lasting impact that echoes through the technology, the product, and the company. We amplify our impact by aligning teams toward coherent architectural strategies.
以我对楼主的了解,我感觉楼主并不是盲目追求TC和Title的人。我觉得楼主更在乎工作带给楼主的满足感。

其实这样的程序员是少数。大多数程序员在干了几年之后都已经厌倦了,很多人只想到点打卡上下班。我跟一些同事说过,我下班之后不会想“go above and beyond”,继续钻研学习,或者肝工作上的project。太多人被各种ops磨平了棱角,或者经历了被manager画饼各种失望,不再热爱这份工作。在失去了热情之后大家都变成了job hopper,通过各种跳槽涨TC。
