When joining a startup, would you consider the title Design Lead, with no other creatives on the team (at the moment), dealing directly with the COO and CEO, a C-level position?

Of course. Why? You can a first hand understanding of the vision. And then you can create what you envision their vision to be. You’re the Lead! LEAD with confidence. And when other folks join the team, they can enhance on your LEAD. I hope that this makes sense

It does! Thanks for the vote of confidence!!

No…sorry, if it is a C-Level, it will be called that, Heads, Leads, etc are not the same thing. My advice is to keep charging and create a world where they can’t live without you, be careful to make sure they believe that too and not what you feel. Then make your ask, might be safe to have another plan if it doesn’t turn out the way you want…I have seen/participated in several Heads or Leads of Product, try to claim Chief and get shown the door/managed out because they weren’t as crucial as they thought

C level literally needs C in the title.

Hey Fishes, happy Sunday!

My sister had received an offer letter for the "Functional Consulting - Analyst" role on 7th September, 2021. Been over a year now but have not heard back anything.

Although when we were able to get in touch with an HR, we were assured that we would be receiving a call letter after a month/week but that was 4-6 months back... No correspondence since then.

Anyone in a similar situation? Is there a clear way to know when the call letter would be released?
