It happens, candidate working in small organization with big title used to switch in big setup with a bit junior titles. I believe in such one must review the job responsibilities and this should not be compromise.

B a businessman and measure your profits and losses, in the same place it will take you ages to get promoted, and salary increases are governed with certain percenatge ( it may take you100 years to achieve a tangible increase)

 

At the sme time you can promote and increase your salary by yourself, the question is how to market ( research your ASKE ( Abilities/ Attributes, Skills and knowledge and experience/education) then sell them through a well known recruiterment company to a well organised compnay.

bets of luck.

Definitely, if the company hiring you are in higher position than your current company position in the market.

I was Production Manager  for an O&M company and I accepted Sr Engineer position for Royal Commission who were client and one of the largest organisations in the country. Ofcourse, I got substantial raise in salary and facilities. 

yes i would......and at this point i would take the fist job offer not caring what the title is as long as i get paid.........Job satisfaction for me now means ...,being satisfied to be working again

It is my personal belief that Job Titles doesn’t matter, and I have categorized the four main criteria:

  • Responsibilities and Accountability:

Some people want more, some people want less, at the end of the day what matters is, does your job have what you are looking for?

  • Authority:

 It is in most human nature, they want to have authorities, whether it is over people, actions or anything for that matter.

  • Training and Development:

 This is usually a need for the younger generation, because -usually- when someone nears retirement they are less likely to be open for new learning experiences.

  • $alary (Compensation & Benefits):

I was a bit hesitant to include this, but let us face the truth, a title doesn’t really matter, as long as it is accompanied by a big fat salary.

It depends on organization nature, size, brand, reputation and career path. My professional experience, I saw that Local NGOs Head of Programme Manager joined as  Program Manager because higher salary and organizational brand image. Finally it varies on employees satisfaction.
