How do we translate our Build titles to industry? For example, if I'm a Principal in my capability, what does that mean when going to industry (aka, a non-Consulting company)?

On resume, I’d leave the Build title bc assuming you get an offer when their HR calls Build’s HR to confirm employment dates & title that’ll match up. The rest of the resume should speak to the role you’re pursuing. If the job is a manager your accomplishments should speak team development, hitting schedules & budgets, etc. If it’s a technical role, your accomplishments speak to that. Anyone that’s been around tech knows there’s a culture of made up job titles for over 20 years.

It's very common for titles at one company not to translate at another. Depending on where you're looking to move next, you could get away with Asst. Director or similar. It's important to make sure you're setting yourself up for success in your job search which means using titles that are standard in your industry or field.

If you end up at a company that does a detailed employment history check, they will likely use a service to conduct that for them. With those, you're also usually inputting the details yourself. It's been a long time since I've seen companies care about the perfect title match from resume to employment verification results.

Remember that recruiters and hiring managers are only spending ~30 seconds reviewing your resume so you want them to quickly see that you match their ideal profile. And any decent recruiter would understand why you adjusted your title on your resume - if it even comes to that.

Titles are all made up anyway. List your actual title, and then summarize your responsibilities as that title.

Are firms willing to negotiate the role with campus hires?

I feel kind of bad, but I truly despise the idea of working in risk now. ( My friend who's in the role right now hates it)

Desperately want to get into healthcare strategy consulting. 13 years of healthcare clinical experience including project work. MBA. But keep getting told by recruiters that I don't have enough experience to be a Consultant or Manager but that I have too much experience to enter in every level such as a Senior Associate. Just one rejection after another, even when applying with internal referrals from Director or Partner levels. What am I doing wrong?
