My first job out of college had 3 basic titles that broke down into - New grad, takes more than give - Individual contributor - Team technical lead I really liked it as it was clear what the roles where and how to move up. We kept running into problems with people wanting smaller career milestones. Unsure if it was due to smaller milestones from college, gamification, or what. Since that company switched titles to match industry and at each job since, job titles have been a mystery to me.
