Seniority and titles are also majorly influenced by company size. Years ago I worked as systems administrator at a larger company. I had a friend of mine who did very similar work at a very small company. We earned basically the same, were in basically the same industry, did basically the same work and for all intents and purposes had the same responsibility. My title was Systems Administrator and his was Chief Technical Officer.

Being the lead developer at a 2 month old 3 man web shop is very different from being lead developer on Microsoft Windows.

Great point. Seniority and job title vary greatly based on company size. One of the things I would always find so odd. I'd speak to friends at larger companies with the same title as me, Software Engineer, and the way they spent their time would be so different - hence why we like to think about work differently - currently in Workshapes.
