would you take a decrease a title to get into a company you really want to work for? Let’s say comp stays about the same. I personally am more concerned with comp than title but am wondering if it makes a difference.

Early in my career, I have made the mistake of not talking a job that I really liked because I wanted to stick with false pride of higher designation even if the pay was staying the same in new job at a lower designation level. But you should also compare work culture and research who will you work with (boss you will report to is going to be very important, even more than work). Also I presume that if the new firm can give you same salary at lower title, perhaps growth in title should be even better comp wise if you get promoted. And at analyst vs Sr analyst levels. It does not even matter. But again, everybody's case is different. People around you will matter a lot.

Thanks for the feedback!

The only thing that matters is comp. Titles are just titles. Always follow the money. I retired at 35 with 3mm and my MD is still working weekends cause he cant afford to get fired at 55.

10 year+ Tier 1 investment banker here

I did that. Was an ED at a private bank, made a pivot to a wirehouse, took a lower corp title (back to a VP). I was willing to do it bc of the opportunity to build my own book of business at my current firm. Now I make substantially more than even my best year at my old firm, and a high corp title.

Yes do it.

Thanks!

If you really want to work for the company and the comp is the same, I’d take it. I personally don’t worry as much about titles as comp and liking the place I work at

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it. I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
