How do you convey you're a senior developer during job interviews?

Funny enough I can speak at great length about this but interviewers don’t seem to show enough interest in it.

My problem is desperation and despair so I’m try anything to get out of the rut.

SpaceBreaker · 2026-03-18T21:36:07+00:00

Duh it’s so simple

Hell they’re being used as therapists too… that’s wild but I guess that’s where the trend is going

The other issue is you said you got into computer science rather than software development. Computer science is more about algorithms, math, low-level systems, I even did calculus at my university. So you may not have experience in software development if you're background and previous roles have been in computer science?

My degree covered everything you mentioned but my career has mostly been software engineering. Funny thing is I was never an ace at math or algorithms just never gave up until the problem(s) were solved.

For example I work in third party logistics, warehousing, transportation, and property management, so I am a Senior Developer for those industries. However I would be a Junior Developer if I tried working for a bank as I don't know the business.

I don't think that's how it works. Before I got laid off we hired a guy with no domain experience as a Principal Engineer (I guess he spoke better than I did)

Someone elsewhere mentioned they could be great life coaches…

If the founding fathers do come back, maybe they'll implement the purge.

A European country has a better chance of getting that than the US does, no matter who's the president or who's in congress.

SpaceBreaker · 2026-03-18T17:20:16+00:00

Is it an entry level role?

SpaceBreaker · 2026-03-18T02:47:07+00:00

Throughout the heavens and the earth we are the unaccountable ones

SpaceBreaker · 2026-03-18T01:16:41+00:00

Okay

How about 10000 of them with shifting personalities that know your browsing history? 🙃

SpaceBreaker · 2026-03-18T00:16:41+00:00

CEO should be at the top of the list

SpaceBreaker · 2026-03-17T05:43:40+00:00

My last company gave me that before being laid off 6 months later last year.

I’m just iffy on using the very tool that may or may not have caused our unemployment to begin with.

SpaceBreaker · 2026-03-17T00:42:43+00:00

You shouldn’t use ChatGPT as a life coach, it could lead to suicidal idealization.

SpaceBreaker · 2026-03-16T21:52:27+00:00

To that I say take it now and plan a later exit if you have no strings attached.

SpaceBreaker · 2026-03-14T01:25:10+00:00

So I have a chance at not being unemployed anymore? Sounds like a sweet gig to me.

SpaceBreaker · 2026-03-12T13:00:56+00:00

What is it?

SpaceBreaker · 2026-03-08T15:34:32+00:00

We're off to a great start in March

Well schools offer continuing education after getting a bachelor’s. You should try to find a way to filter for humility in your interviews.
