Yet, titles do mean something. I once worked with someone who was a "software engineer", but had the experience of a junior engineer. He got a job offer elsewhere. To match it, the company policies required that he be made a senior engineer. They did so. But, he still wasn't a senior engineer and it caused all sorts of real problems.

If I see a resume of someone with three years experience claiming to be a senior engineer, I suggest not even bringing them in, let alone giving them an offer. This isn't me being snooty about titles, but long experience of people claiming they are far more competent than they really are.
