Ask HN: How do you know when you're ready to move into a senior role?

When you can snatch the pebble from my hand, grasshopper

when you're also mentoring

When you have the balls to just go and do it, and then to own and fix your inevitable mistakes.

EDIT: Part of being senior is knowing that you don't ask permission for certain things.

When at the end of most meetings people go off and work on your half baked ideas. And I'm only being half facetious.
