I've been told that I would be in a entry-level position because I hadn't professionally worked with Python before, even though I had masses of experience in Perl, with Python being my free-time/side project language. Apparently I would be a "Senior Perl developer" but a "Entry-Level Python developer." (and this was at a start-up, not some big corp with an HR department)
