# Job Levels

This details the Job Levels that comprise OpenComp's Benchmark

Job Types along with a numerical value represent OpenComp's Job Leveling system. The higher the numerical value associated with each Job Type, the more senior the role.

OpenComp's benchmark is comprised of 21 individual levels. They are listed below:

| Job Type                     | Levels                       |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Support (SPT)                | S1, S2, S3, S4               |
| Independent Contributor (IC) | IC1, IC2, IC3, IC4, IC5, IC6 |
| Management (MGMT)            | M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6       |
| Executive (EXEC)             | E1, E2, E3, E4, E5           |
