I was just trying to exclude them from my question. I realize megacorps in all countries and all industries have titles. So they aren't interesting for my question.

I'm in a very traditional business and I don't have a title, or know many developers that do in small/medium organizations. Hence my question.

> the question you pose just illustrates how cloistered you may be.

I imagine I am. Hence the question.
