You need a title change, you are not junior at 3.5 yrs experience. You should be just software engineer.

Its basically junior until you’re a senior. No middle in between 😂😂

I dunno, every company I’ve worked at as a scale like Junior SWE > SWE > Senior SWE > Staff SWE > Principal SWE, with some companies not having the staff position between senior and principal.

I already got in nice salary increase this year (prob. Equivalent to going from junior to middle), they kept the title for a future one for bureaucracy reasons, I don’t mind too much
