Learned the hard way that job titles mean nothing in startups
I took a "Senior Developer" role at a 15 person startup last year and ended up doing IT support and office coffee runs. Has anyone else found that small companies just make up titles to fill seats?

My buddy took a "VP of Engineering" title at a 12 person startup and spent most days fixing the office printer. He quit after three months when they asked him to pick up lunch.
