I'm sorry you've had to deal with these misleading posts; many of them are not written well and over-inflate the word "senior" in their descriptions.

Do you feel your main issue then is onboarding onto companies not willing to provide training but you're eager to put the time in to learn somehow?

I think the issue is that you can't really be a senior developer in a tech stack unless you have experience in that stack. Every time I switch stacks, I screw myself out of a chance of that next level compensation. Starting over is basically throwing away the previous knowledge.

I can put in time to learn. Most of the time the biggest issue is that internal policies, procedures, and systems are not adequately documented.
