I received my offer letter but it has a different job title than what I applied for. Is this a red flag and something to bring up during negotiations?

Definitely need to bring that up. Are the expectations the same too? I don’t know if it’s a direct red flag yet bc they can always change it after you’ve accepted it. I think it’s a red flag if they start paying you less.

Makes sense - thank you!

Yeah I wouldn't sign until they adjust it. Is anything else different? I wonder if they just forgot to update it with the proper title? You should be able to figure out if it's a red flag by talking to them though.

No.

I wouldn't sign it. I would talk to the HR person you're talking with first. It could just be an honest mistake that they forgot to change.

That’s what I’m hoping too. Thank you!

Is there a meaningful impact to the title, such as removing "Senior," or is this a case where it's more aligned to the role or otherwise saying the same thing in slightly different words?

I would ask about it, though I wouldn't be concerned, being that all else is the same. If the change could possibly impact career progression, I'd lean a bit harder into the "why."

It may or may not be a red flag. A lot of companies list their job titles differently to external websites than they do for internal sites. The reason for this is that their titles may be broad and cover a wide range of different roles under that job title. You can confirm this with HR and if they tell you differently, then you should discuss with them any equitable adjustments as it may be illegal if they have mislead you about the role.

That is a red flag. You should ask about it and what the job expectations are if they are the same as posted

Currently I work for a small company that does the construction of small cell utility poles and roof top sites for the major cell carriers like VZW, T-mobile, AT&T and so on. I am a project coordinator but I do everything under the sun. Created project tracker. Submitti bids, sourcing material, negotiating price on materials, handling post construction inspections, scheduling sub contractors, notifying stakeholders, coordinating with construction managers - property owners - building management.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.
