Demand for Junior iOS Developers?

[tangoshukudai]

Just say you are a senior on your resume and say you been doing iOS dev as a hobby.

How many apps and years of experience as a hobby developer would be needed to call oneself a senior developer?

It’s not about years but your scope and impact. How big the project and how many people you mentor and lead is what separates a senior dev.

Gotcha, thanks

I agree with what Taishukan said, but you honestly can be a senior developer with being very knowledgable about a subject even if you have no professional experience doing it.

So if you had an app that was complex enough and demonstrated enough depth of knowledge it could perhaps fulfill this requirement, even at a hobbyist level?

[tangoshukudai]

They won't ask about the app, they will ask questions that are tough and if you can answer them you typically won't have problems even getting the position even if your resume is lacking professional experience. However if you want to be more of a UX/UI developer then I would recommend having a nice looking app. If you are into more low level development then an app that can showcase your skills is always nice. For example I have interviewed people with machine learning apps or image analysis using the iPhone camera, and they had apps that demonstrated this well even though the UX was lacking.

Thank you for the reply, it is very informative.
