What's fun about working at startup that is just cloning a bad old Amazon feature? Besides getting to call yourself a "staff+" on Twitter, I mean.

The meteoric title inflation is definitely interesting. I consistently see people who were Analyst level at Fortune 500s getting up to Director of X in a year or two at startups. Seriously makes me question the quality of people at these places if any random analyst is qualified to be a manager of managers.
