Do titles in industry matter when exploring an exit? Which title seems better - Principal - Strategy or Senior Director - Strategy if everything else is equal.

The industry matters - a VP in investment banking is equivalent to a manager in tech/consulting.

Principal Strategy in an MBB or Big 4 ??
And is the Sr Director Strategy in a Fortune 500 or a mid sized firm?

Not really. Size of company is a factor with titling and Director vs VP makes a big difference. Principal will require some explaining (if you're talking about industry). For consulting exits, might be different

Close. Real Estate

Depends on size of company. Also, as others have mentioned the industry.

In tech, principal is usually an IC role and senior director a people lead role.

Has nothing to do with the size of the company. Has everything to do with the company’s internal titles. There’s no standardization across firms

SPM1 is absolutely correct about title inflation. I have friends who are “VPs” and “Directors” at small companies or non-profits making <$100k.

Most large recruiters would see through that and obviously not offer them VP jobs paying $300-400k just because they had fancier titles at a 20-person company.

Had my 2nd interview with the hiring manager this past Friday & sent a thank you shortly after. It's now Tuesday (for those who see this on another day). At the end of the interview he said they've had other people who were interested but only one other person besides me were they considering. Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.
