I am married so I only date my wife, but when I'm in Uber on the way to the airport sometimes I like to make up cool jobs--cuz they don't know. 👤 My favorite is "I work for an intelligence agency, but I can't really talk about it..." or "you know Christmas tree skirts? My great grandfather invented those so I am going to visit our larger clients."... but I digress

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.

It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched.

And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.
