I would like to hear from people about their expectations when they see an "Entry Level", "Jr. Level", "Mid Level" or "Sr. Level" in regards to experience.
I have seen Entry/Jr. level postings that require a Bachlors or Masters with 1-3 years experience. Yet I have also seen "Sr. Level" postings that require a minimum of 5 years. I am not sure how one goes from "Entry Level" to "Sr. Level" in less than two years. I also an not sure how an "entry level" canidate can have 1-3 years of experience. 1-3 years of experience does not indicate in my mind someone that is, or should be, "entry level". "Entry Level" in my mind would be someone from 0-2 years of experience. I primarly live on the hardware side of computers for my employment as I do not have the experience or skills (yet) to be on the development side. I enjoy doing development in my spare time as a hobby. On the hardware side I have been working for over 11 years and find that getting a "Sr. Level" possition is almost impossible even with 11+ years of experience. The development side of IT seems just as broad, if not more so, than the hardward side. I am simply not grasping how a sr. level could be as little as 5 years am I missing something here or are my expectations completely out of wack? _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
