looking at jumping from a big brand to a small boutique creative shop. they don’t do a ton in the way of traditional titles, I’d just be “strategy”. excited by the opp to work on a nimble team with a lot of influence and really rad clients, but i’m a little scared of losing my fancy brand title for future roles. can someone tell me it doesn’t matter!

Give yourself whatever title you want, that company won't see it on your resume when you end up looking for a new gig. The work + the updates you make to your book are way more important.

Agreed with the above comment. Titles don’t mean a ton anymore. Let your resume speak for itself (ie how you describe the role within, what metrics you include, etc).

Would you guys consider leaving for a role that offers a much higher base salary but no opportunities to advance? Got an offer that’s an 85% raise adjusted for cost of living. The work seems interesting and I like the company but it’s a smaller office so I basically couldn’t get promoted unless my boss retires or quits.
