If I do get a 700 trip awarded it's usually around min credit so I actually somewhat try to avoid them. ORD does have some really nice 200 trips that flow through DEN and IAH. There are a lot of short legs but that's not all you'll do even when you're junior.
ORD does have a great mix of trips like rcfd13 said. I'm nearing 7 years at OO and I can't hold 700 trips that pay well with weekends off. So I work the weekends. Can normally hold 24 hour 4 days, 18 hour 3 days, or 6-7 locals on the weekend.
I can't stand flying the 200, so I try to avoid it as much as possible. I haven't flown the 200 (other than a standup/CDO/SDP) in a couple years.
As far as seniority in ORD, it is quite senior as far as FOs go, but on the bottom, it's junior, as most bases are.
