I love titles. They're made up bullshit but people assign value to them. If I meet someone with 8 years of experience that is not confident to tell me they're a senior engineer, I won't hire them. If I meet someone with 2 years that tells me they're senior. I'll listen to what they say carefully and judge if they can do the job. Titles are useful labels that compress a lot of info. It's not about how accurate they are, is about trying to differentiate quickly.
