> If you read my resume it'll seem I am a senior but I don't really know where to place me in the "experience" spectrum. I've always managed to solve the problems in front of me but in a "hacky way" and now the issue was totally revealed to me.
Man, you'd really benefit from reading The Career Stories Method by Carrie Twig [0].
It's about defining yourself professionally in a holistic way. It's not that you're a bad this or that, it's just that you're marketing yourself (to yourself and to others) not by the things you love and that you're good at. You need a professional narrative that's grounded in your personality. It's like that story about a fish being depressed because he feels he should be a dog.
