+1 to this. Titles tend to be scope of responsibility, and no matter how good you are, you shouldn't get titles unless the title matches the scope of responsibility. And you can't get that scope of responsibility without, as the blog says:
> Senior engineers have been through the crucible of major production outages. They’ve felt the heat of a system melting down in real-time and learned to stay calm under pressure. These experiences have taught them to diagnose issues rapidly and lead a team through a crisis, making critical decisions when every second counts.
If you have the capacities needed to do the above already then you should be able to quickly demonstrate those capacities in the line of fire to get promoted super fast, but you cannot be hired into these levels, it's ridiculous and makes no sense.
Any bootcamps telling you you aren't anything other than an entry level engineer doesn't know what they are talking about (if you don't have any experience)
