This is a world where job posts for "Senior Engineer" ask for three years of experience.

  And job posts for "Junior Engineers" somehow ask for the same three years of experience.

    Squeezed at both ends! At some point I passed from too young to too old, but never got to enjoy the supposed middle period. I remember the struggle of trying to prove myself during my early career and then suddenly found myself in "mid-career" and being pinged by recruiters for entry level positions. Noe, despite my self-confidence, articles such as this make me uneasy for the future. I don't really want to "graduate" to a management job. I love writing code and solving problems. I just hope there will continue to be enough level-headed hiring managers to let me do the job I love.

  We say three years plus for senior engineer. We have people with that experience who are fantastic software engineers and completely deserve the title. You don't need 15+ years of experience to be a good engineer, but it helps.
