Ironically, I started my career as a junior fullstack developer because I worked across all our application's stack, from the database to the web interface, and I did all parts equally poorly. That was before fullstack became a buzzword, though. Later in my career I specialized as a backend developer because that's what I enjoy the most and companies started hiring specialized people to do web interfaces and I had to choose one pigeon hole.

So, the way I see it, fullstack means you work across the entire stack of the platform. Junior means that you need guidance and mentoring to be able to build a robust, scalable and high-quality application.
