I recently moved to a top fintech in a product adjacent role. One month after onboarding the company restructured role titles and I’m now a “Sr. Analyst”. How will the analyst title impact my career trajectory long term? For additional context I have 4yoe. I left B4 consulting as as a senior consultant but also have a return offer for manager.

I would imagine the title itself won’t impact it, as companies all have different naming conventions and I see that recognized across industry. For example, I’m an “Associate” at my current company, which is an entry-level position, but a prior employer had “Analyst” as their entry-level equivalent and “Associate” as the next level up. I think companies moreso pay attention to your years of experience for context as opposed to the title itself.

A “Manager” title would definitely help, but I don’t think lacking that is a non-starter. You can include managerial-level tasks in your resume bullets, as well as highlight those responsibilities in interviews. Additionally, the prestige and recognition of being at a “top fintech company” puts your role responsibilities into perspective as well. I would imagine recruiters/hiring managers are familiar with how your current title at your company is equivalent to what is generally defined as a “Manager” elsewhere

You could always frame your title however you please. Shouldn’t affect it too much. Hell put the title you were hired as. Question is are do want to go back to consulting?

Makes sense. No, tech is much better for me right now. I’d consider going back in a few years though.
