Does it make sense to focus on title when exiting to tech? Interviewing for an “associate” role at a cyber security company which would technically be a lateral title at best, but base comp would be higher to begin with so from a comp perspective, definitely a step up? Thanks!

Titles mean nothing. A post-MBA grad at AlixPartners is Vice President 🤷🏻‍♀️

Title does impact exit opportunities. VP sounds better on paper than associate, whatever the work is, and that makes a difference to the way companies perceive you when interviewing.

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
