“Creative Manager” sounds sad compared to the Creative Director that I am. Money’s sweet, though, and it’s easy to explain.

You can still put Creative Director on your LinkedIn. My agency has no-nothing titles like Sr. Manager, Manager, and Sr. Associate L2. I'm not putting any of those on my LinkedIn...

I just did this and will be going from AD to Manager but every company has a different title structure and handles that differently

I’ve done worse for a salary bump. Besides, you can always tailor your resume with what your industry title is/would normally be called.

The bigger question is: Do you like this new company more? How are the benefits? Is this the only negative (a less esteemed title)?

I went from a VP on the Agency side to an AVP on the client side but I have more responsibility and make way more money. Titles are totally different across industry and companies. Your responsibilities and accomplishments are what matter more than what you call yourself. Hell half the nonsense I see on LinkedIn are people calling themselves or are people seeking ninjas, disrupters, rock stars

Does it matter for your career if the work is the same? You already have the benefit of more money so I don’t see why the title matters.

Hell yes.

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
