Written role profiles for the company are likely grossly exaggerated.
For example at my last company we had 9 principal engineers, but the responsibility matrix for described maybe a half dozen people in the entire language ecosystem.
My guess is that if you regularly have seniors telling you other comparable companies are paying 50% more for the same job, they probably actually are.

I've checked. Our expectations of a senior are a lot lower than the other company. Plus, if it was true, then I'd expect all my seniors to be leaving. The fact they're not indicates that our salaries aren't that bad.
>I’ve checked.
My point is that the only way to really check is to talk to someone who’s done both jobs without a lot of data points.
Can you disclose the ranges you’re talking about?

I talk to people from the other company quite often when they apply for jobs at my company...
