…I accepted a offer for a position with a title I didn’t like. I started doing on boarding and then sent an email to the HR email I had been talking to that i wanted to drop out b4 before the company sent me checks and computer equipment. When I emailed HR I got a response saying the email address no longer existed…!?!
I went and told the people on Skype IM that I had been talking to that I wanted to revoke my application since it was a job title I didn’t want. They said “oh we can change it”

Internal level is what’s important, since that determines pay ranges. Titles are kind of meaningless, honestly. I’m a “Senior Manager” in an IC role (non-eng, non-FAANG) but get paid $250k - and that is more than some of my colleagues who have Director titles and are also in an IC role.

Most large tech company “Senior Manager” business & ops roles pay in this range. The FAANG companies pay even more.

I sort of had a similar thing happen. I was hired with the understanding that my job title would be "Senior", but while I was getting paid as "Senior" it didn't appear anywhere on my paperwork. HR was wishy-washy about changing the title, but my director pushed through the change without issue.

I am not a "title whore," but acknowledged that the "correct title" can make a big difference in your future earning and prospects. If they were willing to change your title, then I don't see the problem.

What….? I’ve NEVER had a job where I can be so silly Willy nilly about changing job titles????

This isn’t normal.. right?? I’m going through with the on boarding right now but still have a ton of recruiters reaching out daily.. I was entertaining their offers and calls for a bit but now idk if I should??? I signed paperwork with a wage on it, but I still haven’t signed paperwork for my new job title so it doesn’t feel official? I’ve only confirmed my new job title over Skype IM

Wtf y’all

This is a legit company and opportunity, right? Why are they sending you checks, and why is communication done on Skype? Between those things and the HR email going down I am concerned this is a scam.
