If you have been working in a managerial role for over a year but official title is still a senior associate/consultant, what would you put in your resume? Would you explain this in your cover letter?

I worked in a manager role (ppl/proj manager) pre consulting and have also been leading large workstreams in consulting even when compared against other managers. I didn’t get the promo I really wanted this year by a hair and can’t stand seeing graduate program staff with 4 yrs of experience getting the nod first. It is really discouraging. Would love to hear if i should be honest about my official title or put in a title more reflective of my roles and responsibilities

Edit: firm also puts me forward as a manager on client work

You sound like me. I quit consulting for the very reason. When I exited I made sure that the recruiter understood that my title and my accountability was not aligned. I didn't not change the title on the resume however

I went to industry, and yes I did apply online. I exited last year

Can't really change the title, but emphasize it in your bullet points and talk to it more in your interview

How much is too much when pushing for a raise? I’ve been in my position a little over 1 year, received top scores in my annual review, kept my team intact, yet I’m paid at the lowest salary band for my level. Manager has said multiple times she would look into a raise for me but nothing has happened. Person before me in this role was earning +$17K than me. How many times do I have to ask?

Having trouble landing a decent job, I am 4 years post bachelors, environmental science. I can not seem to land a job above minimum wage.

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.
