Career growth of a SDE

I wanted to know the views on what is the peak career growth of a SDE. Is it Principal engineer only? What after that. I have few PE’s in my team with over 25 years of experience. Is that the highest growth that one can eye for?

Partner Software Engineer is the highest one as an IC.

And in how many years do one reach there?

Check David Fowler's LinkedIn as a reference, or Arun Kishan's.

Correction - it's a distinguished engineer and not partner Software Engineer.

Architect and distinguished engineer roles are even higher than principal engineer
