I need help deciding on how to reflect my promotion, and if I should adjust my previous job title too. Working for the state my titles on paper are Graphic designer 2 & 3 but in both instances I'm really doing the work of an art director. I had labeled my previous role as "Lead Graphic Designer." I want to reevaluate this old title and figure out what my promoted title should be too. Even considering saying I was a Jr. Art director and now an Art Director.

Honestly, in the creative field there is distinction in the work but titles vary. It seems to me calling it gd 2 and 3 is just a way to internally promote and show distinction in experience but externally probably does not mean much because you go longer in between promotions so the title jumps are different. imo you always want your title to match what your actual job is. But in your resume or portfolio use the language that explains you did both and acted in an art director capacity.

I have a promising interview at a relatively large law firm in my area (+100 attorneys) next week. The position is for a transactional role in their real estate practice group, and they are seeking someone with at least 2 YOE. I have a bit over 7 YOE with a strong real estate/commercial lit. background. Over the past two years in my current position, I've been doing a lot more transactional work. The split is around 50% transactional and 50% lit.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do?

Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?
