Depends on product too.

Are we talking titles or pay? I was laid off last year then got a new job making what would be SM level pay at my old firm. I was a C if that detail mattered. At the end of the day, my new title made me sound more Junior so that was a step “down” but my pay sure wasn’t. My take: I don’t care what you call me so long as you pay me

funny

Depends on where.
I make much more.

Yes, step down. B4/ACN Sr. Mgr. Exit as Product Director or Group Product Manager

Yeah step down

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?
