Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

That sounds more like the name of a department, not a title. Are you working directly with clients? What exactly is your job, how big is the company, what industry, whats your boss’s title, whats’s their boss’s title? Also graphics are usually included in creative services so to me it sounds a bit redundant.

“Redundant” sounds sad but it’s kind of true in my situation. My previous team is gone because the team couldn’t make any profits for last two years (because of the poor management) and the boss did too many harassment so he got fired. Anyway HR transferred me to this current team. Of course, my current team needed graphic designer but they didn’t need to fill this position this quick. Maybe my current boss thought I am unnecessary asset of the team..? Basically he is forced to take me in his team. My boss is really professional so he never express it to me but I can feel it when he treats the other team members… he didn’t intend it for sure but I can feel the difference (sadly). I totally understand his situation so I don’t blame it. I personally respect him too based on his career and personality. I want to learn more from my boss for sure. All my team members are very professional and thoughtful too. I like being here no matter what other people think.

Maybe that’s why he gave me the title “graphic & creative services”. Because I’m kind of redundant employee here at this team. Now we worked together for a few months and we are closer than before. I don’t feel any difference or distance. But I don’t know how to bring this up to my boss.

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.
