Self taught + 3 years != Senior Engineer
- _ah 8y agoIn case the meaning isn't clear: as a hiring manager, if I'm going to expend money paying lawyers to sponsor your visa, I want to make sure you're worth it. A 3-yr Sr Engineer mostly doesn't exist. This means that: (a) you are lying, or (b) you have title inflation because your current company has no idea what real talent looks like. In this situation, I'm not even going to interview you. If you want to pass the first cut, I recommend thinking more strategically about how you're presenting yourself. Then you can get through the interview process and on to the visa discussion. Or I could be wrong, and you could be an absolute frickin' genius who made Senior in 3. But the odds say no.
