Maybe not though, considering how often the title “senior” is given out like candy to people in their 30s and even 20s.
- TuringNYC 5y agoWell if they want a "senior" dev a year or two out of college, there is no shortage of non-top5 college grads and bootcamp grads. If they are having a hard time, I suspect they are looking for true senior devs.
- rhines 5y agoUsually then comes down to the issue of the company seeing a senior dev as someone with 10-15 years experience, but offering pay that would suit a senior dev of 3-5 years experience.
