Is it unheard of to negotiate on title of a role before accepting an offer? (I.e Social Strategist < Digital Strategist)

If in the job description the role sounded more social focused but upon interviewing and learning more about the position you feel that digital strategist makes more sense, that’s a strong case. If you’re just trying to better position yourself for the future that could be a hard sell

Frankly "digital" or "social" strategist both sound dated. If you're a strategist you better be able to strategize for social and digital regardless of your title. What you should be saying is that you're afraid the agency is creating silos where none should exist. 🤷

Giving a community manager a social strategist title is a bit of a stretch as is.

Digital strategist implies deep understanding of whole digital ecosystem, beyond just a brand’s social channels (email, website, digital display, search/SEO, programmatic, mobile apps, etc). Be able to design a digital journey, set and measure KPIs, etc. Different skill set than a social strategist

If you have the offer already I would think that’s the time to negotiate title. If you accept the offer you accept the title.

I would wait on the offer

I'm torn between whether you should have brought that up before or after the offer. I can see pros/cons to each. Where are you in the process right now?

A lot of semantic arguement here... The question that you and your potential new boss should ask is, what title will make people most likely to respond to your phone calls or email?

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?
