Does salary or title matter more? Currently have a job offer that the company offers me two options: 1. Associate title (lateral but somewhat downgrade) title, with possibility of being promoted to VP after one year and 20% salary increase; 2. VP title right now but with no possibility of salary increase within the next 3 years.

From long term career advancement, wondering if anyone have advise?

Money up front as long as the title will come in a reasonable timeframe based on your target trajectory

Depends highly on what your goal is. If you are looking for a career destination, then take the lower title and higher pay; doesn't really matter if you get promoted in a year or three. If you're looking for a waypoint that you only spend a year or two at, then you might want the title.

That said, future employers can see what title inflation looks like, so if your VP title is just a dressed up version of the level beneath, the title isn't all that meaningful.

Option 1. And make sure you discuss (in writing if possible) what it'd take to get promoted to VP in a year.

Hi 👋. I posted here a few weeks ago about being nervous conducting a PIP conversation with my team member.
I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.
