Last week two fresh engineers from college joined our group. Our group is a product team 25 people (2 sub teams Dev team and System Validation Team). All the members joined for quick stand up meeting to introduce the new guys to the team.
It was interesting. The Dev team members introduced themselves as they are an elite group. It was obvious from the expression and language and more obvious if the engineer is less experienced. While most of the testing team members avoided saying their team.
I always felt that there is a cast system existing in the industry based on the Job category.
The following is order from top.
1) Programmer / Developer (In these two groups. Maintenance engineer is belonging lower group than Dev)
2) Testing
3) SCM / Release and Build Management
4) Tech Writing
5) Product Support
Might be the product management folks and sales folks think Dev is low cast job? Does the higher cast produce more value than the lower one?
