"Unfortunately in 2019, the title of being 'senior' can be given to literally anyone (even with less than 2 years of experience) in their own organization but elsewhere, they are equivalent to a entry-level coder with a heavily decorated CV."

I love this quote, and will use it from now on :D Personally I think the industry as a whole is fairly bad at judging a developer's skill level at anything past a junior level when it comes to hiring.
