Titles don't mean anything in this industry, theyre all made up ego tickling nonsense. Every jackass is a vice executive chief strategy creative associate producer anyway. Money is real, take the money.

@senior strategist 1. That’s called lying. Do you also lie on your resume?

I agree titles don’t mean all that much. But I can’t believe how many people in this business blatantly lie about their roles at previous agencies

Yes, because a title only matters so far. Once you've held a higher title, as long as your responsibilities at least stay close to the same, it doesn't matter.

The titles on my LinkedIn/resume are rarely exactly what those companies called me, but are more reflective of what my role was for the team.

Also, where the hell are you finding jr. roles for 6 figures.

likefunny

Yep. Titles vary wildly from agency to agency.

Yes. My counsel is always that title is irrelevant. Look at what they are paying you and at the work you are doing. That tells you your value much more clearly than a few words.

Absolutely. If you like the work and the opportunity is sound, that’s more important than title. I’ve done it twice and was able to earn my way back to my previous title fairly quickly

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?
