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)

A year ago I moved to an HCOL area to accept a new position, however, I do not go into the office daily. I just go whenever my team needs to be in office. Was wondering has anyone moved out of an HCOL area to save money on rent and was it frowned upon when your firm found out? With inflation and rent going up I’m considering moving 3 hours away where rent is half the cost I’m paying now.

They want to know my 1099 rate and salary requirements if full-time employee. Would $75 hourly and $110K be within range? They are in Philadelphia. I have been working in the Chicago, San Fran, and NYC markets mostly.

Hi all,
Been doing privacy for about a year now in-house. Got my CIPP/US.
Having major imposter syndrome still. I feel like the minute I finally have a grasp, something changes. The law and nuances just seem overwhelming. Maybe it’s just a lack of guidance/uniformity in the US. I’m not sure if I feel this way because it is simply the nature of the work or because I’m just not capable.
😔
