Just got approached for a senior manager position at fortune 100 company that is an IC role…? Even the director level would have limited leadership opportunity… I guess it’s better than all of the scrum master and project manager roles that seem to fall into my inbox but just odd leveling. Am I crazy or is it weird for a Senior Manager to be an IC???

Is this at a bank? Seems like rampant title inflation

Not normal at all big pharma though, I’m a manager with direct reports in pharma currently

Its not uncommon at a lot of firms. The title is a leveling function. SM is a peer of all other SMs in the company. In corporate strategy it's not uncommon to have a SVP with a team of only 30 people while other SVPs have thousands.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
