How much should I care about title? I was looking for jobs and found positions with responsibilities and experience needed equivalent to a controller level while called senior accountant or something like that. This is especially seen in the funds where they normally have flat structure. Given all others things (people, culture, comp etc.,) within my expectation, should I get too hang up on the title then? Afraid that it might hurt my resume going forward. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Same here. I interviewed for an accounting manager position (not for profit) which reports to the CFO while others are controller reporting to the CFO. It depends.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
