Opinions on whether title or salary is more important? As in would it be smart to go down 1-2 titles for a higher salary somewhere in-house/tech or keep your title and keep moving up and the salary will follow agency side?

Tech titles are often lower than agency titles, so if that’s your end goal, it could definitely be a good bet. And many folks take this path. Slightly different than taking a lower title at another agency, but even that could work out.

Look into the role and remit and see if it feels like growth (if that’s what you’re looking for at the moment).

Titles are all over the place and different everywhere. Basically salaries get capped by titles in house. So if you are taking a new gig that pays more with a more generic title, go for the money. Only way up is up.

Worst case, you can just point on your resume to experience and say “yea that place had weird titles, but I had more responsibilities and higher salary”

It’s a strategic call. One step back for two steps forward. But CS1 made a good point. Where are you in your career?

I’ve been a Sr AD for a year so competing against seasoned Sr ADs with more work and more experience is kinda rough unless I fall back to mid level

I would prefer a better salary over a title. I agree with others that you need to be strategic. For example moving in house for a particular industry will have a bigger impact career with than a title change.

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?
