I am finding out the importance of job title after 3 years in my current role. My offer letter had Sr. on it but after I started it just mentioned the discipline on company portal, teams etc. so I thought that was the norm but recently when negotiating my salary, my manager called me an intermediate and I was taken a back. what can I do?

I would start by pulling up the offer letter and asking HR to clarify why the title isn’t reflected across platforms. Job titles impact salary and growth so it’s worth pushing for a correction or at least a clear explanation.

Hmm.. That’s a tough one, and you’re right to flag it. If your offer letter says "Senior" but everything else internally, and now your manager, says otherwise, that’s a misalignment worth challenging. Start by gathering your documentation (offer letter, emails, performance reviews) and ask for a conversation. Be clear and direct: “Can we clarify my title and how it’s being recognized internally?” This kind of mix-up can affect pay, promotions, and even how you’re viewed in the org. Have you had a direct conversation with your manager yet?

I would go with the offer letter and what has been officially documented

Are you talking about negotiating a raise 3 years after accepting the role? Gonna be a tough hill to climb if it hadn't been addressed before now.

No no, I have had raises. the title didn't really change.

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K.

I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice
