In most engineering it takes 15 if not 20 years. Otherwise the term "senior" gets completely watered down.

In most engineering it takes 15 if not 20 years. Otherwise the term "senior" gets completely watered down.
- foobarian 4y agoMany software companies have official ranks where "senior" is a step up after "junior," to be followed by "principal," "senior principal," and/or "staff." "Staff engineer" may not sound as impressive as "senior" to a layperson, but at say Google those people are like minor deities.
- goodpoint 4y ago"principal" and "staff" are even more vague than "senior" and exist only in few companies. More importantly, they almost never refer to total experience and instead refer to being promoted within a given company.
