When Your Job is Bigger Than Your Title
Is your job title lower than it should be? Does the level of your role imply the full scope of your responsibilities? For example, you're a Director with a P&L in the tens of millions, but that same role would easily be considered VP level at another company.
If so, looking for a new role with the job title you deserve might be challenging. Recruiters and hiring managers want to hire someone with a current title that is at least as high as their open role. Director ➡ Director, VP ➡ VP. You get it.
