Junior developer superhero

[Emme Developer]

Yesterday I came across a post from a company that required the following knowledge for a job as a developer
- Ability to create clean architectures and object oriented design
- Good knowledge of the following programming language: c#, js, php
- Good knowledge of the following framework: asp.net, jquery, bootstrap
- Good knowledge of relational db: mysql
- Excellent ability to read and speak in English
- Some experience in mobile development: android, ios
- Basic knowledge of Java, object-c, swift

After these all requirements, there was a small note indicating that the open position was as a junior developer..
I don't understand, how can a fullstack developer with architectural design knowledge and experience in mobile development be a junior?

They want a juno-senior developer !

Junior pay, senior expectations

Junior because...

- Excellent ability to read and speak in English

you must be able to read and speak English, but it is not necessary to write and "listen" to English.

Junior pay, senior expectations

Yes. this is what the ad means. Members who work under some company can understand it.

There are some youtube channels (fortgot the name) where they check such posts. Either like this or the play new bullshit-bingo with buzzwords. Very funny.

At the end it's just a program someone developed. Sometimes with a db, often with a UI but always bits & bytes...

This is very common in my country. The job posters always copy and paste from the other ads. I am not sure they know what they are posting.
I always see one line, "Knowledge in xxx is an added advantage." Sometimes they required some enterprise level technologies where you can't install in a single PC or small home network. For example, do you use Oracle DB, docker, kubernetes, container, jenkins, kafka, Springboot, Hibernate, Azure, Tableau, Hadoop, or IBM products?

The required experience is minimum 2 years. I always confused does it mean working experience through out one career life or experience in all that technologies mentioned.

??????????

They want a one-size-fits-all one-single-individual-employee for the startup of a new section of the company and don't want to risk all the eggs being one basket in case they drop themselves into the S.

Because this is a job for junior but up to power 3.
?????

 

[AnandGupta]

the open position was as a junior developer

This does not indicate job but indicate one's position in the company, which is basically pay scale.
The higher the position the higher the pay.

This is team lead but not a junior

I've seen even better. Long time ago in beginning of 90 back in Ukraine I've seen this:

Requirement: not older than 25 years old with an experience to work abroad not less than 10 years. 25-10=15 years

 

[vecino]

This is typical in Spanish companies.
However, when you apply for a job offer saying that you have 30 years of experience, they reply that "they are looking for a young profile". In other words, they want a young person with the experience and knowledge of a senior.

I swear sometimes I think there is an age bias for developers/programmers. when you get to a certain age, nobody wants you anymore. They want the young, and naïve, ones they can manipulate and are hip to modern trends. to be honest, I sometimes feel I am already obsolete. LOL

It was once pointed out to me that generally speaking, when a company posts a job request, the description contains their wish list, not necessarily what they are willing to accept.
