The position descriptors are no longer equal, and recruitment ads don't list the job grade associated with the position.

The public sector is not that bad already. The chief culprits are the US finance companies who dish out VP and SVP positions like water when they are essentilly junior to mid managers.
That's why smart people will always look at the pay as the most realistic gauge. For eg., if you are drawing anything less than 8k & you get offered a "manager", then you more or less know it's afake title. My gut senses is that the true "Director" position probably starts at ~$18k
