Interesting perspective I would say that you are more a less correct. A lot of people want to level up fast and think they can have all this experience within a year.

In reality you might be able to get up to speed with a technical stack in that time. But it does not equal real world experience which only happens after a few years.

I'm with you. Also, seniority is not just about the technical stuck. It's also about understanding the architecture, system design, business domain, communication skills (both written and verbal).

I'm not sure how someone can learn all of these within a year or two.

Anyway, thanks for reading my article! 😊
