I understood I wasn't a junior anymore when I started to work with juniors. This moment where I was the person who taught more than was being taught. The moment I stopped asking myself how to implement something but got the schema of a solution popping out in my head before any "programming" task was started.
It's like the difference between driving when you are learning how to drive a car, you are looking where the pedals are, how to use the lights and trying to remember all the rules of the highway code: but after a while, you "just" drive with confidence. This means I feel I am a senior for some stuff and junior for others.
