95% of positions I can find have a Senior title or higher. Position not requiring 5+ years right now is an exception, not the normal in my experience thus far.

Applying even with 4 years experience and good skill match has been a 100% rejection/ghosting rate across maybe a dozen+ job applications so far.

I agree with the sentiment about junior/entry level...everyone want a senior. Maybe I'm not looking at the insurance/bank/non-tech job boards and companies, maybe they have a few more junior/entry level positions. In startups and high-tech companies, 95% senior and above positions only.

I’ve noticed a shitton of specialist jobs with less and less generalist ones in the “cost-centerL side of companies. Most of my professional experience is in .NET stuff and I swear everything I go to search for jobs now they wants a senior/principal/whatever developer who’s an expert with whatever weird obscure COTS software the company uses. I’ve also seen a surprising amount of jobs for people with Unity experience, sometimes in some pretty interesting domains.
