Someone at work told me I was a Senior Legacy Interface Developer, according to the organisation chart. I didn't believe her, because in my last performance review at the end of last year, the job title said Junior Software Engineer. Okay, so Legacy Interface Developer is just a glorified Software Engineer that works with custom components.
But the point is, I still consider myself to be at junior level, or maybe in the lower intermediate level, if there is such a thing. So I checked out the organisation chart, and found out she wasn't bluffing! There in plain view, in the organisation chart, above my name, were the words Senior Legacy Interface Developer.
I'm definitely not complaining! I hope it's not a mistake either; it would be a horrible feeling to be "demoted" in a sense. We'll see what they say at my next performance review.

When the 'ell did they start calling you Junior developer??? WTF? Wasn't always at least "Software Engineer"... not sure about the legacy interface developer??? Demand more money now!!!
You at minimum ntermediate dev... maintaining 3 deadbeat products all by yourself... don't bend over...
my 3 words of wisdom
My former team lead (and yours once upon a time) called me junior at the end of last year.
Now that I don't work in said team, my title is different now, and I don't need to maintain 3 deadbeat products all by myself now; I've passed them on to other n00bs.
