In general you have three levels for a lot of positions (At least for software development).

Junior [Jobtitle here] - Fresh out of college or with a year or two of experiance.

[Jobtitle here] - usually 5-7 years' experiance

Senior [Jobtitle here] About 8+ years' experance.

I`m surfing around the internet looking for IT jobs and asking my self...what is difference between IT Specialist and Senior IT Specialist or is it generally the same just different title?

I'm in IT field for nearly 30 years.

In nearly all cases, "Senior" in the title means you have typically 5++ years of experience

and have strong expertise in that field.

Usually, "Senior" position is just below the "Manager" title.

The "Senior" title also puts you in 1 or 2 salary bracket higher than without it.

Absolutely apply for senior! I think at my company it has to be 10 years, but definitely 15 would qualify you. Really, I'm sure some companies based it entirely on competency anyway and don't require some bureaucratic time-in milestone. If somebody is 24 and has spent the last 4 years doing nothing in their free time but programming, both as work and as a hobby, I'm sure they could code circles around many seniors with 10 years experience.

Good luck!
