      Data: 459,783 titled job postings indexed from ~15,000 public company ATS/career feeds, snapshot July 2026. I run the index at latmay.com. Counts are the number of postings whose title contains each word, case-insensitive.
      Tools: Python (pandas for the word counts, matplotlib for the chart).
      Caveats: The source mix skews toward companies using modern ATS platforms, so tech and white-collar roles are overrepresented relative to the whole economy. „Associate“ and „assistant“ were excluded as ambiguous (a sales associate isn’t a junior engineer). Counts include both active and recently stale postings. Note also that most junior openings carry an unmodified title like „Software Engineer,“ so this measures how companies label seniority, not the true ratio of senior to junior openings.
      Happy to answer questions about the dataset or its limitations.

      I mean…
      Engineer-> senior engineer-> staff -> senior staff -> principal-> senior principal

      Of course senior appears more often. Half the ladder contains senior.

      I’m going to get killed here, but maybe we need to look with a fresh eye at why employers aren’t interested in hiring early career people. There are a wide variety of explanations, but people tend to only consider those depending that best support one’s a priori world view.

      If I am hiring for a job, posting it as “intern” reduces the quantity of applicants I get, posting as “senior” gets me more. Why would I reduce my applicant pool?

      Senior just means experienced though. So maybe you’re junior for 5 years and senior for 35 years. Makes sense that job ads skew this way.

      I have never had a job that said junior or entry or similar in the job title. It’s always been Thing and then Senior Thing. It’d be good to chart how many have no such designation.

      If it’s a junior associate role it can just say associate and the pay will reflect the rest. If it’s a senior role, it must say that or those looking for senior roles won’t take the title deflation.
