How many years of experience define a junior tester?

Similar to what some others have said, I don’t think years of experience is the right measurement. I’ve interviewed too many testers for “senior” roles where it become abundantly clear that they have 1 year of experience 10 or 15 times over, and are still stuck with a shallow understanding of testing that, frankly, I’ve had plenty of intern candidates or fresh graduates who demonstrated better creativity and critical thinking skills.
