I'm going to care more about the details and responsibilities below the title than the title.
Really?
For me, those are straight carbon copy, the title tells me what you do. And so it ends up being entirely redundant.

Well, technically the job responsibilities aren’t different in any way. The main difference is the sr is supposed to be able to operate more independently and handle a larger workload with much more involved deliverables. I actually don’t produce that many deliverables though because I am more of a business development focus while everyone else is deliverable focused.
It definitely isn’t a tenure thing especially with current management group who have openly said they are trying to reduce the amount of promotions because they feel like previously too many under qualified people got promoted and they want people to have proven themselves.

Yeah, i tend to get my set of questions for the interview based on that. You don't list anything interesting in there and I don't wanna talk to you. i want to know day to day responsibilities, projects, achievements and typically numbers in there about metrics you achieved or how big what you managed was.
Eta: i work in IT and hire people for operational roles and professional services roles consulting on software

I mean, honestly, for my position, it’s 90% client service a job title or a job description won’t accurately portray all the work we have to do. It’s only through conversations that you really understand all the work we do. i.e. our main competitive advantage is we allow our clients to set things up however they want and we will supply the manpower to get it done while our larger competitors are more generic and technology focused.
Saving “provided exceptional client service” doesn’t mean anything unless you know the company and their approach to things.

If that's the detail you provide i won't talk to you. What kind of customers were they? Large or small. How many were you responsible for? What big milestones did you hit for them? Ticket volumes you handled, sla performance. Really anything your manager measured you on that you did well at should be in there.

I don’t disagree. But I also think it’s not as simple as that. The products I produce for my clients are confidential and my clients are confidential. And what goes into me creating those products is confidential. Our clients rate is as part of a larger service package, size of the client is not an accurate depiction of work as larger clients are way way more lenient than smaller clients. I do have some stuff in there? What do our managers measure us on? Well, the primary one is did I break the sla and cost the company money? If not, than not much else that’s measured.
I think I go into details where I can. “Utilized understanding of xyz to create accurate products that fit under this designation” etc. but I definitely feel like the amount of measurable stuff I can get into is limited.

I usually list stuff i do like this as performed xyz duties for fortune 500 clients and when asked specify what I can without breaking any contracts. Even if the clients are more lenient i think it's important to know what kind of businesses you deal with. Working with s corporate behemoth and a mom and pop shop are huge and the needs are typically different.

Dee if you can find any measurables around utilization on how you stayed busy or try to estimate the value of some of your work when describing it are other great ways to get some numbers on the page around discussion points for the interview
