This is one of the best responses I've seen. Titles do matter - at least depending on what your goals are. If you want to have broad impact (say leave a legacy or have influence etc) you need a high up title or have your name be synonymous with a project/product used by the group whose respect yoj want to command. And lot the time those above you will have you cranking out things for them. I don't mean this in an evil way. I mean that they have okrs to take care off and you will just be a resource to them.
