In many companies, how much they can fill it is based on what your
title is. Therefore, it IS tied, and you DO care.

Where I am now, every year, about 45 days after our yearly
evaluation, my manager receives a range, within which he is
authorized to give a raise. If you are "Technical Writer", your range
is lower than if your title is "Senior Technical Writer". I don't
care if, as a Technical Writer, your writing is going into the
Smithsonian, you cannot make as much, maximum, as the maximum for
someone designated "Senior Technical Writer".

Titles really do make a difference, no matter how glib we want to be
about the answer.
