Titles don’t really mean much, IMHO. Although I, and everyone on my team, are “web developers”, we all have (basically) the same official “title” of “Software Engineer (followed by a roman numeral I through IV)”.
I’ve had one opportunity in my entire career to be the one to call all the shots. I didn’t get to choose the hosting company, but I was in charge of pretty much everything else. It was pretty scary, for me. But I grew into it, and came to enjoy not only the work that I was doing, but also the trust (and, by default, vote of confidence) that the client put on me.
V/r,
