Wtf?
I thought senior is 10+ish.
But in the end, aren't these titles just fancy meta, not _really_ meaning anything? -
@nitwhiz From the level of incompetency I've seen between so called "seniors" and team leads, the title means absolutely nothing. They get extra money and fake reputation around the company though.
Where I am from, 2-3 years and you're a senior. Bunch of knuckleheads! -
Yeah i have barely 2 years of coding experience and i get contacted by recruiters who don't understand when I say i don't feel like i have the baggage to fill a senior position. Given the quality of code you run across out there though, maybe I should just start taking the interviews...

It depends. Some companies figure education into it. Sometimes it's a minimum to be considered. Sometimes it's to reflect ability. My last job, senior was level 3 of 8 and most topped out at 4.

LLAMS37484yIt depends entirely on the company. Based on the skills and experience required, a senior engineer at my current company would easily be a lead or technical architect at my old company. Heck I have to handle a level of complexity that some seniors at that company would struggle with.

YADU13964yI'd say after 1 year out of school, you stop being a new grad and start being junior lol.
Senior after 1.5 years is massive title inflation.

Seriously, how the fuck is it possible for someone to be a senior engineer after only 1.5 years in the industry?
I have been working for 5 years and I don't dare to say it because I have seen real seniors with 15+ years of work experience and how they work. A completely different level. Hell, I refuse opportunities that announce they want senior engineers for that reason.
