Hi there!

There are like 3 different types .
Junior,Middle and Senior.
When you will go and and get a job if you want to .. you would be Junior most likely . Junior get less salary and need to be like trained and need help with most things .

Middle level is like get the middle salary and can do things or reach them out and do it . He/she might get stuck sometimes or something which can take time so he/she might ask senior.

Senior on the other hand, it takes years to become one. You most likely know everything about your field and will find a solution to every challenge or obstacle you will find. They get also payed quite a lot as i saw .

I think once you get in a company/agency , it will be hard at first but once you get like to middle level, then i think everything should be smooth . I don't work yet , but i hope i can get a job soon ^^

bdw how high or low would you rate my english from 1 to 5 ? : p just wondering if i improved and stuff like that : p

Edit: Oh one think, most of it i researched earlier some i added from me too as i think it is .

I'd say it mostly depends on the company. In most cases, I've seen entry-level, junior, senior. In some cases junior and entry-level are synonymous. But for the most part, Junior developers require more instruction, training, and gaining of experience. Once you have years of experience, you get bumped to senior. Senior developers don't require much instruction and can, often times, be considered experts in their field.

OK, I understand. But I have now another question. Do you agree with this: Web Developer != Frontend Web Developer != Web Designer (UI/UX)?

But, in country where I live (Austria), all jobs are almost like this:

They want from me to know, all these stuffs perfect for one job (one position, one salary)!?
