I tend to think titles are meaningless as long as you're getting paid. I took a level/title cut in my last three company changes.

My wife and I joke about this ,  millennials seem to be really stuck on titles.   She just managed to retain her most valuable employee with just a title bump and NO raise whatsoever
Personally I couldn't give three shits about my title.  Pay and responsibilities are all that really matter.

This is so true, my previous client made everyone more than 3 years out of school the Director of somethingoranother, never seen so many directors with zero direct reports.  But I guess its more important to be able to brag about your title over cocktails you can't afford...

On a semi serious note, part of this is because no one really talks about salary right?  Its better to sound important than actually be important (and get paid accordingly) because you "can't" post your salary on linkedin... I got a bigger % bump this year than people who did get "promoted" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
