I think of the junior and full-stack as two qualifiers for the type of the developer. A junior having under a couple of years of experience under their belt and a full-stack developer is to take part in the entire stack of the project, as well as having experience in design and UI/UX principals.

I also really like the term "mid stack" that I have been hearing recently which is front end, developers, who focus more on Javascript frameworks, as well as being able to write basic routes on the server, without really having any complex understanding for serverside development or databases.

My title is a junior full-stack developer. I had gone to school for traditional backend and low-level programming, but I also went for UI/UX and frontend development. So my day today, I work with anything in our stack from styling for accessibility to databases, to dev ops. But I certainly don't have the experience or insight of a senior developer.
