Always found it weird when people say ‘who cares about title’. Your title can largely impact your future roles and earning potential. Unless you’re in the later stages of your career, it’s definitely an important factor.

Agreed it’s not the end all be all. But dismissing it is also silly.

I never claimed that - I said that ‘not caring’ is silly.

What you actually do is obviously more important, but for CV screenings and recruiter searches, it does play a role.

Depends on what the title is relative to current but without any additional info, yes. Also titles are flex on CVs/linkedin. You can just call yourself a specialist if you want

Yeah who cares about the title. If it’s higher pay and you’ve got more responsibility, take it.
