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."
