### Conclusion ### Conclusion
All the teams are made up of a mix of all these seniority roles. Being content with your role is a bad thing and you should always strive to improve yourself for the nex step. This article is based on my beliefs and observations in the industry, lots of companies care more for the years of experience to decide the seniority which is a crappy metric -- you don't gain experience just by spending years, you gain it by continuously solving different sorts of problems, irrespective of the number of years you spend in the industry. I have seen fresh graduates having no industry experience get up to speed quickly and producing work of a Senior Engineer and I have seen "Senior" developers labeled senior merely because of their age and "years of experience".

My final words of advice would be to have an open mind, learn from your mistakes, work on challenging problems, have an "opportunity mindset" rather than a complaining one. The most important traits that you need to have in order to step up in your career are to not settle for the mediocrity, have an open mindset, being humble, learn from your mistakes, work on the challenging problems and have an opportunity mindset rather than a complaining one.
With that said, this post comes to an end. What are your thoughts on the seniority of developers? Feel free to send improvements to this guide. Until next tim, stay tuned!
