Is a 30% raise in total comp worth it if it’s a reduction in title?

More money for less responsibility? Seems like a win to me.

Reminds me of a very seasoned guy I worked with years ago who used to be a senior director and then came to the same org as an independent consultant. He said, "if the client doesn't want to listen to me and asks me to just wipe a desk for the $200/hr they pay me, I have no problem."

Titles don't mean anything. Levels and titles are drastically different across orgs. Look at the comp, role, and responsibilities. I would consider so long as responsibilities are at least a lateral move. Don't think I'd consider a demotion with a pay raise unless it was to gain very specific knowledge or experience that would better benefit me in 2+ years

I remember when I was doing a consulting project at Bank of America back in the day and I was supposed to meet with a Vice President of analytics. I was so nervous, prepped my deck, practiced w coworkers, and the meeting came and he was 3 years out of college.

Title means nothing, job duty, responsibility, and revenue generated is the only thing that matters - at least in the US.

Only if you’re crossing industries with higher potential. Within an industry with established titles it will have a significant impact on lateral moves in the future and promotions within.

If it’s a high potential career path, go for it. Be patient and play the long game. The days of 20-something startup CEOs are over, don’t let it get to you. To go far, you need good fundamentals.
