The titles between different levels don't seem to mean much because of the variation between companies. But I do see merit to differentiating between roles.
As an example, I moved from Software Engineering to IT Controls Analyst. The pay brackets are lower and there are way fewer job postings. Even this chart of software related job completely leaves out any compliance or audit function, illustrating just how little my own profession thinks of us.
