I’ve reached a point where I’m too expensive for senior roles but not experienced enough for manager roles. I’m 4 years in, I have my CPA, and I’m making $95k, but every Manager role wants 6-8 years of experience. Should I take a fake Manager title at a tiny company just to get it on my resume?

Are you in a LCOL city? That is definitely not the tail end of senior pay. I know seniors in public and industry making $120k in MCOL.

Hi all, I got selected with CGI and got confirmation email of final selection on 2 Feb and been requested to send few documents. I did the same day and been waiting for offer letter since then. Everytime I reach out to hiring manager( on weekly basis), they tell it's waiting for clients approval. How long does the offer letter issue usually takes?

I gave in my resignation with a 3-week notice period. Always got good feedback from my manager and we generally got along well.
Yesterday he made this comment in front of my team when he made the announcement. "Don't let the door hit you on the way out". In context we were discussing how to reassign my projects. He then laughed like it was a joke, and I didn't react.
Should I bring this up in a 1-1 meeting or let it go? Is this humour or plain sarcasm?
