Is there such a title as "senior SWE"? many tech companies don't have such titles and if they do, it's definitely not standardized in any way. There are some staff SWEs in company A who wouldn't pass probation period in more selective company B. And you have junior engineers who are much more knowledgeable and productive than seniors. I don't know why anyone would care about these titles. If they want to compare themselves to their peers to boost their ego, salary is a better metrics.
