I started as Software Developer, then quickly got a Senior title prefixed to that because I became literally the only developer in the startup I was working at , and held the title Senior Software Developer for another 10 years through a few companies. Then, I was promoted to Chief Software Engineer which is my current title. Nothing up for me except maybe CTO or CEO. Not sure I want to move to either.
