I see a lot of folks with just 1.5-2 yoe getting promoted to "Senior Software Enginner".
Companies like Razorpay, Swiggy, Meesho comes in mind.
What should be the industry standard for being considered to be a "Senior"?
Other day I was getting interviewed by an Engineering Manager with 6 years of experience.
Lol. How did it go?
It went well as we both had same years of experience.😂
Swiggy doesn't have Senior title as designation. It's SDE1, SDE2, SDE3, and so forth.. I'd consider a SDE3 to be a senior, SDE2 as mid level, SDE1 as junior/associate level.
I've seen some people brandishing them being SDE2 as senior...some small startups also give Senior titles, though it is useless in terms of actual job responsibilities.
I thought it went something like...
SDE1 - Junior SDE2 - Senior SDE3 - Tech Lead
Job title inflation is real! Somebody with a 'senior' or 'head' to their title doesn't get as much weight today as it was just some years ago.

Folks graduated in 2021 going around town interviewing for "Senior" roles. Companies entertaining this too! Not sure how long it'd last 🤷🏾♂️
I went from "tech lead" to "software engineer" when I changed jobs a few years ago. That's when I realized that these titles aren't worth a damn at small-midsized companies.
Currently, I have a title that somewhat matches what my role is about.
Seriously! Pay and Culture is important. Title kuch bhi ho.
I know a "Senior Director" who does not know how to draft a 2 sentences mail! ROFL

I have been getting a feeling that software engineers (SEs) have a sense of entitlement, believing they deserve a salary of 50-60 LPA with 2-3 years of experience and a 30-40% raise every year. As an SE myself, I believe this sense of en...
