In this climate make sure you have a new job lined up before you quit your current one. Don't let on the slightest that you care what title you have because personally I would blackball anybody who talks like that.

Thats sound advice. But why that on the title? Just curious if youd elaborate. I feel like if they are asking of me to do code review, SQL, etc. then my title should align with the rest of the market, especially after a year + multiple years BI experience. Feels like its easy for you to say that about my title when you're not in my shoes (and presumably haven't been called a junior dev for awhile now). Seems completely reasonable to expect a title change at this point, in my opinion.

I'm not saying you're wrong.

But personally I don't like people who are concerned about status (as opposed to getting the job done) and any participation I have in the hiring process is what I can do to have some influence over who is sitting in the seat next to me.
