I worked in SWE for 35 years and the only titles I was given were: junior, senior, staff, senior staff, principal, lead principal, and senior principal. All followed by “software engineer”. I guess I never worked at companies that used all these fancy names.

Nope. I think that term may have been intentionally avoided because of the connotations. JUNIOR is also kinda dismissive, but typically referred to 4 year degree new college grads, and they usually were promoted in 2 years if they worked out.
