Principal and senior principal roles are no longer executive level. Very few chief roles left.

sour grapes? Your all site engineers future are limited at advanced or expert engineers level after working for 30 years. We BTC are more capable and taking higher responsibilities as principal at younger age. Sorry but not sorry.
@em I don’t think it will work in the Permian/Delaware because they won’t be able to hire contractors since there is so much competition with other quality companies. They can do it in 3rd world countries though.
Technically ladder did not exist when EM took control on XTO at Permian since 2015.
In EMTEC, our operating refinery and chemical plants, you will be lucky to reach CL-27 before retirement.
In operating plants for the last 15 years, unless you were the plant manager, operations manager, or technical manager, every else was CL-27 and below.
Very few will be above CL-27 in the 21st Century.
Also, ExxonMobil has adopted a 21st Century strategy where we will own the asset, but 3rd party companies will be operating the asset on behalf of ExxonMobil. All of our US Gulf Coast Refineries now have maintenance departments that are 3rd party managed services.
The floating platforms off the coast of Guayana are operated by non-ExxonMobil companies that pay less with limited or no benefits.
Aren't most career ladders dead at EM now? Perhaps unless you work in recruitment in India. BTC recruitment seems to be expanding, everything else is a sinking ship with huge downward pressure on CL's.
That's funny.
If True Technical = Fake executive then
True executive = Fake Technical ?
"True Executives" - I like that.
Those without any technical skills is another way to put it.
SPs used to semi-routinely reach CL30. It was essentially a career d—th sentence after a year or two…..you simply cannot make it being ranked against true executives
@a4 Not true. Senior Principal was, Principal was not.
@an I can’t imagine that if they reach executive level they will be ranked well
Along with Chief, Senior Principal and Senior do have the potential to be executive CL levels. However it remains to be seen if they will allow these to reach executive CL. Principal is the only SCE that does not.
The principal role is a complete joke anyway
Principal and senior principal roles were never executive. Chief was/is. The catch is there will be less and less US based senior technical roles. No opportunity for advancement.
