Started to negotiate salary and they offered to give me a different job title (manager versus senior associate) plus a slight bump in salary. Has this happened to anyone else before?

It's happened to me. The new title set me up for future opportunities though. Yes the raise is minimal at first but it's worth to stick it out as I got a bigger raise later on. Look into the situation though and make sure the new title has a clear path for growth and the new number they gave you is reflective of the work you're going to be doing.

That was my first reaction too — thank you!

I did this with an employee I wanted to hire. She was at top of the other range, so it gave me the ability to give them a raise in a year without bumping title.

Thank you!!

They also did this to a coworker, seemed like a negotiation tactic since they were more technical than management. They were hired about 2 years ago, only heard of it happening a few times outside of that but it's a pretty common negotiation tactic in the industry.

Thank you! Appreciate it

No it hasn’t happened to me. Instead, after 2 years - they changed my title and pay stayed the same. But I’m keeping my title for my resume though!
