Ask HN: Can I call myself a senior?
2 by azoth128 | 7 comments on Hacker News.
Hey guys, I would like to know which state i’m currently in. I got my bachelors degree last year. I resigned at the end of June. Due to the setup of the study, i’ve got 2 years of part time and almost 4 years of full-time experience in software development. In my current job, I do ERP-Desktop-Software development with Delphi and MSSQL-Database. Additionally, I do project management, analyze problems and develop solutions together with the customers, support, etc. (It’s a very small company, so the list goes on.) It’s important to note that my employer is extremely happy with the work I’ve done. In the new job, I would like to do full-stack development on a modern stack. For example JAM, with a proper backend and something like ReactJS on the frontend. In preparation, I learned my last missing basic (CSS). I’m doing so by building a personal forum with nextjs and postgresql. My question remains whether I can call myself a senior. Of course, I'm missing a lot of experience in the web-dev field. But on the contrary, i learned a lot of the current technologies and how to design and develop software in general already. Like debugging your code, finding errors, etc. How do I compare to someone who’s done web development for 4-5 years? How important is the actual language when it comes to applying for a job in another field?
