Re: title

I have seen the benefits of a title that is commensurate with your experience but,..

Do you spend time with other team members just to help and maybe transfer some knowledge?
Do you get one or more team members involved in an issue you are resolving because it's one of those that rarely occur and exposure to it will benefit his/her expertise and help them grow into REAL Sr DBAs?

If you do at least that and never lose an opportunity to help them become better at what they do then there is no need for a title because the rest of the team knows who the real senior guy is. I title of SR DBA on the outside means the same, internally it means really nothing unless benefits and cash are better. Where do you go from Sr DBA??, maybe management?

If you don't do at least that then I would suggest a change in strategy.

Just my .02
