I have worked with some incredible engineers in my life in 5 different companies and several divisions within those companies. I have met but a handful of senior devs who had what, when I was greener, an innate or better yet sixth sense as to what/how things should be done. The rest are intermediate developers. While I would love to believe a 3yr. engineer could be "senior" I've never met one who has the indepth knowledge to play the role. Also, many companies have created multi-tier systems: Jr. Eng, Software Engineer, Sr. Engineer, Lead Engineer, Principal Eng, and so on
