You become senior developer not by advancing technically. You just request salary that's too high for junior developer on your next job hop. If they want to hire you (and some will want to) they have to hire you as developer or senior developer. Also being older helps.

Once you are senior developer no one even dreams of offering you position of developer or junior developer.

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)

Yeah. What I said works for corporations. Start-ups tend to be as creative with ranks as with everything else.

in your case, the right answer is, "k, good luck with that"
