Do Titles or levels (L5, L6) really matter vs. company brand and pay? Just got a FAANG offer that is close to 50% more than my current comp. I’m probably going to take it. The role is reasonably new and has a vague title. It’s not Director or Head or anything. It’s more like just Strategy and Sales Support. Could this impact me in the long run? I’m probably overthinking is but change is always a little scary.

Levels matter, but remember your resume is marketing material. Shouldn’t impact you long term. My title and role was vague when I started. TC was $100k more so it was a no brainer.

Same, I moved for a level I thought was probably lower but it paid 100k more.

Title?

I would normally infer someone’s value from their TC. Invent your own title for LinkedIn

Your responsibilities and span of control are more important than title. When you move on, you'll speak about what you owned and drove rather than a title.

Levels matter obviously in terms of salary. But why wouldn’t anyone go with a 50% increase in salary? That’s a no brainer

Congrats OP,
I am also trying to exit. Did you apply or recruiters reach out to you? I just couldn’t find what kind of job should I apply.

Sure!

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice.

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
