I feel like these titles are a big reason we don't disclose our salaries in the US (beyond other cultural issues) - the title is our flex. It's always seemed to me that they are a bit meaningless though. I'm a super senior engineer at my current company because I've been here for a lifetime. I have a lot of skills that port from company to company, but to my current company, I'm even more valuable because I know how to keep this train moving and how to get the tracks switched if need be. I have no doubt I'd need time to become that useful as an engineer at another company. My point is, titles are to some extent, onjly pertinent to your current setting.
