Title does count. Cant get the Director title w/o having the SM title

It's not about title, it's about compensation, the people you work with, career opportunities, and work-life balance. What you said in your post doesn't give me a clue.

At this level it's beyond the title: it's the why? And does that really give you what you want? How is the environment in the new place? Culture? Team?
You've been in PA for long enough to know the ups and downs. Good luck!

Welcome to having a life outside of work!

(I have no idea if that's true about the company OP is considering going to)
