Amateur mistake ;)

Truth be told: Titles are meaningless, the only thing that matters is the pay.

Giving impressive titles is simply a very cheap and efficient way to make naive young employees feel important and valued, while really they are not.

Until you have to hire more team members in which case you may have a problem. That is how companies get absurd things like three different technology VPs and a CTO in a 10 person company. (exaggerated obviously)

Or your environment is an absolute flaming disaster but your manager gives you a bad review because they don't understand why someone would want to write unit tests to run across distributed databases to confirm consistency and correctness. So, your environment remains in a broken state, reports have wrong numbers, and development moves at a snails pace because of constant issues. And the person that actually knew enough to identify and fix the problem is fired for insubordination.
