Displaying Enums with custom value
You can use annotations, more specifically the Display attribute, e.g., `[Display(Name = "Junior Developer")]. I'm working on source generators for annotations, you can find it here

Is there a "right" way to consolidate constants in C#/.NET?
I agree SmartEnum is my go-to for this
-
best practice to create a method with params of limited values
If we knew more about these methods and what kinds of parameters they take we could maybe make some suggestions. There are some patterns like smart enum that are sometimes just the thing.

Smart Enums In C# Like Java
In C# I am not able to add constructors, properties, and methods. although there is a library to do this https://github.com/Ardalis/SmartEnum but wouldn't be nice if we have this feature built-in to C#.
- What is it about C# that you do NOT like compared to other languages?
-
Displaying Enums with custom value
You can use the SmartEnum library.
- C# records can be used to emulate Java's fancy enums.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing SmartAnnotations and SmartEnum you can also consider the following projects:
Guard - A high-performance, extensible argument validation library.
Enums.NET - Enums.NET is a high-performance type-safe .NET enum utility library
Nullable - A source code only package which allows you to use .NET's nullable attributes in older target frameworks like .NET Standard 2.0 or the "old" .NET Framework.

ZeroIoC - ZeroIoC is reflectionless IoC Container for C#
Result - A result abstraction that can be mapped to HTTP response codes if needed.
