How important is title to you considering exit opportunities? Currently manager 2 at EY, but I don’t mind apply for senior title in the industry if it’s better pay and work life balance. Thoughts?

Title jumps in industry are less predictable and more difficult IMO. I wouldn’t settle for anything less than a lateral move (unless it’s tech, which have title deflation).

Everyone is different but I recently left for a manager position as a M2 in April and would’ve been up for SM in July. I thought title wouldn’t bother me for the reasons you mentioned above but it’s slowly starting to bother me. If you know yourself and won’t desire that title or you know there is good promotion potential then I say go for it!

It would bother me tbh, but I think that PA managers often go for senior title when leaving for industry.

I applied for a manager position in private and I was told that they need someone with more years of experiences.

Note this - a senior in industry is the same thing as a staff in PA. Industry titles are degraded compared to PA. Also, keep in mind that manages in industry do all the dirty work that staff and seniors do in PA. This includes clearing the e-file diagnostics on tax returns. Eww! To me, I wouldn’t want to do this type of work at a manager level.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
