I'm also a HM. It's unbelievable to see the number of people who are "Senior" after 12 months of actual experience.

Some of them are actually legitimately senior, despite short tenures on paper - but many are barely entry level qualified.

"Senior" is just a title. It doesn't mean anything unless it's at a big company with known standards.

Em... I just interviewed someone with a "senior" in their title from a big company, that was more like a junior.

We had a junior who was _barely_ a net positive contributor leave us to be a senior at LinkedIn. He knew his algorithms though.

Just because it means something, doesn't mean it means much :)

I know a company where "Senior" is anyone non intern.
