Senior is 5-7 years experience
With shrinking budgets senior is the new junior. And CD/ACD is the new senior.
6 and some change. Everyone’s journey is different but seeing someone go from jr to sr in less than 3 screams inflated title.
Inflated titles in advertising?
Around 6 years, but I felt like I deserved it at least two years before that.
84 years
Rose?
3.5 years & counting. But willing to make a move soon to get it.
In the same boat as you
2 years here too.
3 long years
So weird, I got mine after 3 and a half, but was told by an interviewer they would bump me down based on yrs of exp (but with higher pay) based on benchmarks.
I had about 5 maybe 6 years total experience when I got my senior title.
I kind of started doing senior stuff ahead of time but didnt get the bump until I switched jobs. When you move from one country to another you also have to roll back a year or two of experience
4-5 years sounds about right. You want ample exposure and opportunity to be tested to know you are thinking/doing at a senior level.
I would think managers and department leads would want that legitimized ownership/responsibility nurtured as well.
“Shrinking budgets” are becoming more common-place with perception of AI minimizing time/effort. Making seniors do junior level work is a genuine problem.
Juniors will no longer get hired, and seniors will be burnt out because they’ll be expected to do more with less.
AI disruption.
AI will eventually end most digital and knowledge work—limited to a hand full of roles expected to be jacks of all disciplines providing guidance and oversight to AI output.
How is this a good thing?
AI was supposed to “copilot” human work, not replace it. “We won’t lose these workers they’ll just be skilled up to work their AI tools to free them to do the thinking/crestive/curating work.
It’s not turning out that way because leadership saw a way to game AI for companies to look more profitable, and shareholders to feel like they’re making an absolute killing.
Instead, teams are shrinking. The most pliant, yes-men, willing-to-be-overworked, desperate to hold on to their dead end job will be further distilled to fewer roles with AI exponential advancement, saving even more money for shareholders.
The best bet for the working class and our children is to invest in skills that deal with unpredictable physical world problem-solving, specialized hand craft, emotion-level human to human value, because AI will have a much harder time replacing those complex human jobs. But those will obviously be next on the chopping block!
Leave it to greedy shareholders and the pressure on companies to do more with less so the SHAREHOLDER CAN POCKET MORE and essentially destroy work opportunity for workers sold on white collar value.
“White collar knowledge work” used to be an upwardly mobile standard.
It’s now a liability even as you upskill and expertly wield more and more AI tools.
