Artificial status hierarchies are just that, artificial.A Senior DBA will often be better paid than his manager is, so "promotion" becomes simply a change in role.
The list you gave for devs implies a move away from writing code into supervisory and/or management roles. Anyone can do that if they have the skill, knowledge and inclination. And they're masochistic!
I felt compelled to add to this.
