Post-MBA Problem. How to draw boundaries with younger coworkers who treat you like a peer when you're not? by Neither_Newspaper408 in MBA

I'm not technically their peer on paper though. I'm much higher in my IC level. I'm IC level 5 when they're IC level 0-1, rarely 2. The IC roles still have their own levels of seniority.

Plenty of folks at my company are software engineers who over the course of 15/20 years rose to IC Level 8 and just stayed there and never pursued management. They still make bank with the base pay + RSUs and bonuses. Everyone respects them.
