How about the third position (which I find myself in in): Staff->Line engineer.

I work primarily on an internal support product which the company decided to license to other entities... at a ridiculously low price. We support dozens of instances and thousands of users, yet bring in less than half of one developers net salary.

And, of course, my departments performance is judged on the Line work, not the Staff work.
