This holds up in my recent search. I just apply to these anyway, because what they define as senior might be totally different between companies.

Yeah, most of the "senior" positions I see state that they want 5 or so years experience.

There are seniors with 5 years of proper experience that will run circles around the seniors that have 15 years doing the same 1 year of experience.

I guess it probably depends what you mean by "running circles around".
