Attempting to get out. Based on my current job title alone, I am getting reached out to for positions I’m not remotely interested in. My job title hasn’t matched my day-to-day work in years. Even when I apply to positions I like, recruiters recommend a position that better fits my title and not my work experience. How do I manage this? Can I just change my job title on LinkedIn and my resume to more accurately reflect what I actually do?

Yes , change it to what you do. Internal title doesn't mean that much!

What is your title and what would you consider changing it to?

Just put Senior Manager on LinkedIn. Put whatever you want on your resume (data analytics is a good suggestion).

Yes, of course you can change it

As the job market recovers and tech talent becomes especially sought-after, some job seekers can be at a crossroads.

Fledgling startup or a big, established company: where would you work?

Working at a startup helps you pick up new cross-functional skills, forces you to dig deeper into your reserves, and allows leadership opportunities.

Big companies typically have a more structured path for career growth, offer benefits and perks to employees, and are perceived as more stable.
