Pardon me while I blow the dust off the standard quip about "years of experience:"

"Is that one year of experience, repeated five times?"

In my job, I was able to get a position just as "Software Developer." I didn't like devaluing "Software Engineer" and I didn't want to be seen as a WordPress guy if I used "Web Developer." (My job is web development with Laravel.) And lastly, I didn't want to be called "Junior" (because I have less than 5 years experience).

id rather have someone with one year repeated 5 times than someone with just one year. Those aren't equivalent
