> I think the "Junior" title is used entirely by companies to get a discount at salary negotiations these days.

I think there's some truth here. What I consider some proof of this, is an unsolicited recruiter email I received today. The role was called junior web developer, a $25.00/hr contract only position, but listed a mathematics or CS degree as a requirement. Like, am I nuts to think this is preposterous?



When recruiters reach out to me, I just list them what I expect including salary expectation. If they still respond after that, then it is mostly worth my time.

But I noticed hiring practices here in Europe are much better anyways than in the US.
