What I have seen work well is having a path that splits after the
senior level, which works well for designers, researchers, or
generalists:
For example:
-UX Designer I, II, & III
-Sr. UX Designer
-Principal Designer (team lead, knowledge expert) or UX
Manager/Director (people management, budget, liason with execs)
This is similar to the model we've been using in software engineering
since at least the mid-90s. It's nice in that it gives people a chance
to progress in their career (and earn more money/stock/status) without
giving up their trade and becoming a manager.
Member of Technical Staff 1: 0-3 years experience
MTS 2: 2-6 years experience
MTS 3: 3-10 years experience
Manager or MTS 4: 5+ years experience
Manager/Director or Architect: MTS4 + technical leadership skills
Director or Principal: Architect + innovation + problem finding/solving
