Need advice! I accepted an offer mid Oct and just found out my new company opened a new role above me at the title I was asking for originally but was told I would move up when they were ready to build out the team. I am over qualified for my role now and already meet the exp of the new role above me. Very salty and feel like they are setting me up to feel stuck before I even start. What do I did?

That seems shady, I would go right to supervisor about it.

Went through a recent experience similar to yours. I was able to negotiate hard and have them create a new higher level role. Typically the internal p&l owners need to jump through some hoops for new reqs, especially one that's considered at a higher level than needed as justified by the latest revenue run rate or projected product market fit, etc.

I'm saying all of this because it may not necessarily be a judgement on you. Did the hiring team or upper leadership change at this company? If so it's possible that they are now increasing their internal investment into this team.

It is always possible that they just thought you weren't qualified for a higher position (even if you in fact are). Sorry, it's a shitty feeling I'm sure.

Best advice is if you really want the job as is, then just go dive in and prove your worth. You can always pivot after a couple of years.

Otherwise, you can have a direct conversation with hiring team as well to put yourself at ease.

All depends on your objectives and negotiation hand. I wouldn't let your personal feelings get in the way too much and try to make a cold, objective decision based on facts and your goals. It's just business.

It’s important to speak up but approach it in a professional way. If not, you may become bitter in your current role because you didn’t approach the issue when you had the chance.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
