I have been working at the same company for 16 years right out of college and moved up in management...I am finding that the title of the jobs with similar responsibilities are director level outside my company...I am seeing I am rejected because I don't have the same title as what I am applying for.. do people normally just use the higher title given it's the same responsibilities on job applications? I know my company doesn't provide titles when checked for employment.

If someone is really reviewing your resume, they’ll look for YOE+ your responsibilities on the job, not just go off title.

What about the expectation that someone that's good at their job will get promoted? I understand that's not the real world, but if you have two people with similar careers and resume bullets, but one has the higher title and you only have one interview spot left, wouldn't you go for the higher title? I imagine that scenario is not uncommon (multiple the numbers by 10)

This doesn’t answer your question but try to get your cv to answer the ‘why am I moving’ problem. Because a lot of folks just assume you might just try to get a new job just to negotiate your pay/ title at your current one especially if you’ve stayed at your firm for that long.

You mean do people lie and inflate their title on their job apps? Yeah. But that's part of what the background check process pre-on boarding is designed to catch. I would recommend reviewing your resume and cover letter to make sure your experience is coming thru - because being denied because of a title makes no sense if your experience suggests you are a qualified candidate

Agree with FM1

While it may make no sense to reject someone with the right experience, titles are just a simpler and more tangible way to screen

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
