With all due respect, I stopped reading at

> I’m extremely senior;

What does “extremely” even mean in this context? This immediately gave me “humble brag” vibes. Bad taste in the mouth.

Well, back in the day, you became a "senior software engineer" with three to five years of experience - so how do you describe yourself when you have 30 years of experience? Just "senior" doesn't convey an accurate picture.

Thank you, well explained!

I'm not humble bragging. I do mean it. I've been called "the brain", "the goat" at clients. I can't help it ;)

I think you just proved their point.
