>We constantly get resumes from "senior engineers" working for no-name tiny companies and startups. They are often our worst candidates, especially when it comes to hard skills like coding.
That's funny because I remember not too long ago about complaints regarding Senior Engineers at BigCorp that got too comfy and also couldn't code. It seems the walls are closing in.
It's a good anecdote that titles are bullshit in our particular field. It's also why I've opted to remove 'Senior' from my titles for external resumes to avoid people making judgments too soon.
