Well I dunno, why did my company hire me as a mid-level frontend engineer straight out of a coding bootcamp? A lot of people didn't want to, I just went and found a company willing to... Is the market not as robust for .net?
If they called you “mid level” straight out of boot camp what exactly is a “junior”? Could it have possible been yet another case of title inflation?
They also put a title of “lead developer” on business cards in 1996, straight out of college - I was the only developer - when this little small company was trying to seem bigger than it was when they were trying to get a government contract.
