I have 2 years of experience, and I started holding the formal title of senior software engineer before hitting that mark - I have also passed on lead engineer roles at multiple well known companies already.

This is not an undeserved title either - I have been praised for strength and volume of contributions, improving code and processes. I am about to be promoted as well. Granted, I am probably a rarity, but it is possible to be quite accomplished in that time span.
