Would you accept a role that has a worse title than your current one but better pay? Current job is Senior consultant, new job is PMO but over 30%more money? Both companies are equally as prestigious

Titles are bogus and non-comparable across firms. Money however is objective.

Absolutely. Call me Assistant Mail Room Sorter, as long as the pay is good and the actual work is fine, I'll be happy.

@Bain1 I’m in a similar situation. I joined EY from a small firm with only three titles (partner, EM, managing consultant). Bc of the nature of the team I had so much more experience selling, delivering presentations, conversing with execs, leading projects, etc. but now I’m at EY and I feel like I’m doing the grunt work I never had to do previously (it’s fine, but pay is so much better)

Is this a joke question? Of course you take the money, who cares about what your title says? 95% of the people in my life have never even heard of my company let alone understand what I do or what the roles mean

“Title” is relative tbh. You see a lot of folks use descriptors instead of the actual title.

And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows?
