How important are titles to everyone when negotiating? Have some offers with good comp but rather deflated titles

I care more about comp than titles. Titles aren’t really standardized outside of consulting

More context needed (industry, company size, comp)

Industry is mainly tech, offers in the strategy space. A lot of the offers are as BA titles whereas some positions offer me an manager title (roles responsibility is mostly the same though, managing end to end workstreams)

Agree with D1. Every company is different. Titles mean something different everywhere. Left consulting with Director title. Went to FAANG and got lead title but level 6. That reasonably aligns with my previous title. Current title is “lead” and “Sr PM” but pay, responsibilities, leveling, and growth expectations are on par.

I recently found out I was “promoted” or giving a higher title, same pay. I was told HR was updating employees titles based on the work they do… Is that even a thing?? My mid yr review is coming, should I just ask for more money?

Tempted by FCB for those reasons, but value work/life balance.
