I currently manage a team of 5 at an f500 and I’m interviewing for a lower-level IC role in tech. Compensation slightly better and willing to take the title/ management hit to get my foot in the door but I would view it as a stepping stone to get back to people management in the industry I want to be in. Should I voice this and ask about path to management during interviews or will I come across as over-eager or too likely to jump teams?

I think you’d be seen as overeager or not a long term hire.

I would talk about wanting to grow your tech skills. You always want to spin a question to the positive.

Go to tech and then tell them you want to do people management once you are in.

It is your career and as a candidate you are well within your rights to ask questions about the long term trajectory of your career. Any company or hiring manager that thinks of your desire to know your career growth prospects with them as "over-eager" is exactly what you should stay away from. I would 100 percent recommend asking them

From my lens, I observed folks in tech prefer salary increments (from increased tech expertise) and not too bothered about job title increments. So you may possibly be perceived as misfit.

Fwiw, this is common practice for FAANG - I've seen people go from director titles to analyst when joining the company - titles don't correlate much with your IC level.

like

Ask, but be careful with phrasing. These sound good: "What does the career trajectory look like over the next 2 to 5 years? If I earned a promo to the next level, how would responsibilities change? I have a passion for managing people, so what would it take to earn such an opportunity?"

Don't mention how you view the role as a stepping stone to an exit!

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
