I share the same title as other folks on my team who have far less experience. I want it to not bug me, but I cant help it. My company gave me a raise, but doesn't promote within role. It's a secure gig, but im super unhappy. Should I jist wait it out for now?

I say this with kindness... shouldn’t that sometimes be the case? People get promoted into new positions, that doesn’t automatically boost your title a level up commensurately. If you’ve been financially rewarded for your greater experience, where’s the beef?

I mean it sounds like you’re unhappy that you won’t get a promotion and that there’s no hierarchy or system in place to correlate experience with titles. If those are more important to you than a pay increase and secure a gig right now, then, yeah, leave?

Titles don’t pay the bills. Are you doing the work you wanna do? Is it holding you back from future opportunities at all? Those are the things to think about, not just how you compare to others.

the agency world has become so title happy that we sometimes lose site of things that matter - responsibility, money, etc.

Are you unhappy at your job exclusively because you’re annoyed at the title thing, (understandable), or unhappy due to something else. If it’s just due to title - and I say this with kindness but - don’t let it bother you! I’m having trouble paying bills for the first time in my life. You are lucky to have work. Keep your gig and apply up jobs! For a reality check about the recession we’re probably about to hit, go to the Finance/Investment Bowl, those guys do it for a living so if they’re super concerned I kind of am too. Enjoy what you have.
