Salary + work you’re genuinely excited about. Title can come later. Unless your goal is to impress industry people.

Titles only matter when trying to get a bigger salary. It's a job, folks, it's all about the money. I wish I could take a 500k job as junior creative.

Generally agree, but a deflated title can make it more difficult to stay on the right salary trajectory as you move between companies. Or even within the same company - if you come in as the highest paid CD, you might not see a raise for as many years as it takes to get promoted.

But if you come in high enough you’re already offsetting 🤪

Yes.

💯 I’d be the VP of toilets & personal sanitation for 1M a year. Actually, that’s negotiable. Who cares. + most titles I see these days are self assigned and pretty meaningless.

Well title is more about ego and maybe money is more important but you shouldn’t always think of the money right now but the money you will be making in 5 years 10 years when you retire. The title is only important if you can use that to get better pay raises or means you can have a greater upward career path. If not then its not important and if the company you are working for is greater then I would take lesser title and work on getting the title at the other company and have more money and other benefits

Call me whatever you want, titles have changed so much over the years that they no longer matter. $ is better than any title you can make up.

Agreed - you can call me a Junior Associate for the rest of my career as long as you don’t pay me Junior Associate money

Money is better! But as creatives, we want to produce great work. Having the title move things forward. No one listens to a designer, and everyone reacts to a creative director. Especially at Apple! Don’t get me started on gender and race.

I work through a contractor, and was hired 2yrs ago to be a Systems Test Engineer II. They decided last minute to make me a Software Content Manager, but kept my title as is since it was supposed to be a 6mo rotation. I’m still an SCM, and am taking on leadership roles in the group. How do I ask for a title change and pay increase to reflect what I actually do? Do I ask my contract house, or my NASA mgmt? Should I ask to make the pay retroactive since I was hired to do one thing, but do another?
