I actually worked for a company for two years before I learned that they had tacked a "junior" onto my title. The only way I even learned about it was during an annual review when the lead told me that they were taking it off. That workplace was none for needlessly keeping secrets from its employees to a ridiculous extreme.

My experience is that if you take the "junior" position, you will be
labeled "junior", and when the need arises for a more experienced
person, the company will look to the outside.
