> Or,
Exactly. For company A it means you have 6 years experience. For company B it means you can lead a team and mentor people. For company C it means you know so much about Java you can write the book. For company D it means you can type and open word. Coming up with a precise definition is futile. It is just going to be anecdotal.
It feels a bit like True Scotsman territory.
- Jach 11y agoYeah, it's just a title, so what makes a senior dev is that title on their resume. Everyone has their own view of what should merit getting that title so it's not an interesting discussion topic. (For fun though, my view is senior is just an understanding of how your work ties to business value.)

Company to company the specifics certainly don't hold constant but one could argue that the progression from junior to senior involves more responsibility, autonomy, and accountability at most places.
