Received a verbal offer - can you negotiate the title?

The company hired someone who was a Senior Associate at my firm as a Consultant last year - I am a Consultant so would expect to come in as at least a Consultant. Typically it looks like one needs 3 YOE for the Consultant and I have ~2 years 9 months so close.

At the same time, the compensation is still a raise, the company is more prestigious, and the role is in the city I want so want to take it but don’t want to shortchange myself.

I read in negotiating tips that anything is up for negotiation and it’s up to the company but doesn’t hurt to ask. At the end of the day, if you get a raise, title shouldn’t matter too much as long as you are happy with compensation

Hope that helps! I gave up a manager title to be “analyst” but my TC was way higher so that it didn’t matter much at me 🤷🏻‍♀️

What is the leveling? SA > C > M? How long between SA & C? When is their promo cycle?

Associate (2 years) -> Senior Associate (1 year) -> Consultant (2 years) -> Manager (they call it Director) and so on.

Their promotion cycle is in their fiscal year so ~July so would be having ~9 months of extra experience compared to my hiring class.

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.
