Not really, senior is meant to imply you are in the late stages of your career (or school or college or whatever) and have some wisdom to share. It’s reasonable

Not really, senior is meant to imply you are in the late stages of your career (or school or college or whatever) and have some wisdom to share. It’s reasonable to question if you can get that in a career - which could last 40 years! - when you are 3 years in.
- thrwyoilarticle 5y agoThis sounds a bit like King Canute saying the tide won't come in. Everywhere my peers are, senior just means a step up from plain engineer/developer & sits at roughly 5-10 years. The name doesn't have to mean anything, it could be interchangeable with the level numbers at larger companies - ask finance people what Vice President means.
