Follow-up questions:
➡️ Aside from “work on the website” what did that person do? What else was their responsibility?
➡️ If you had to write a description for that title today in 2025, what responsibilities would you include?

Once upon a time, working on a website granted you the title of "Webmaster". As the Web evolved, more specialized roles took over and the title fell out of favor.
Searching for it now, I don't find many job listings for "Webmaster". So now I'm curious: how far removed from that job title are we?
When was the last time you heard of someone with “webmaster” as their actual job title?

🔥💼 "Burn Your Title" is the new hot take where career advice is sold as #enlightenment, and the author has discovered the groundbreaking notion that job titles aren't handcuffs. 🙄 Meanwhile, everyone else just wishes someone would do their work for them. 🤷♂️

New entrants, incumbents, and the search for knowledge: the role of job title ambiguity in the US information and communication technology industry, 2004–2014 https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:hal:journl:hal-04918213&r=&r=ict
"… job titles offer a meaningful public source of information to select #poaching targets
… knowledge workers whose job titles were more ambiguous tended to be less likely to be poached by other employers. These results are strongest for mobility to industry incumbents.
… New entrants as well as lateral entrants tend to be less sensitive to job title ambiguity than industry incumbents
… #recruiters shy away from knowledge workers with ambiguous job titles
… In contexts characterized by a scarce supply of workers and high degrees of poaching… job title #ambiguity may act as a meaningful way to reduce the poaching of workers from other employers
… firms may decide to strategically leverage ambiguous job titles to increase the odds of #retention of valuable #humanCapital and the knowledge associated with it
… While #jobTitles may serve as a buffer against incumbent firms, they may be less effective against the poaching attempts of entrants or employers active in other industries."

I wrote a blog post about "fancy job titles".
#justAnotherRant #jobTitles
Hm, I am struggling to find good results while searching. 🤔
Do any of you know the proper title for a person working in a company overseeing both design and development, while also steering the technical direction of the company? 🤔
It all seems either exclusively #design related (art / crreative director) or #development related (technical director). 😅
Email from accountants excited to introduce my new "success manager" who will be my contact and oh god no please just let me email my accountant like I've done for years :facepalm: #JobTitles #CustomerService #Beaurocracy
So, influenced by the above post, here is a #JobTitles ladder suggestion if you want to add a victorian grace to your title:
- Page Engineer
- Baron Engineer
- Viscount Engineer
- Earl Engineer
- Duke Engineer
Examples of usage:
- His excellence Duke Engineer is gathering a meeting. Presence of all engineers from Pages to Viscounts is required. Presence of Earl engineers is optional.
I've been seeing people get to "Senior" and then "Principal" or "Director" and wondering how they're managing it.
I've generally got at least a couple of years more experience, if not more. But there's just so much stuff I don't know. I can't see how people go that far that quickly. Or what they do next!
