Title or Salary?

Question

Hi,I'm in a large-sized company with approx 2000+ employees and I got an offer from tiktok for an associate role with a 10% hike in salary.question is should I accept? I'm an associate manager - so it feels like I'm back to ground zero. same time, I'm also having a dilemma due to its brand and exposure.

As a recruiter I would say it’s not unless you reflect on how this shapes your career forward. Is it an industry shift for you, is it a new skill set you don’t have?

If it’s exclusively about the raise, reflect that 10% increase is an extra ~$200 per paycheck or so - is that worth it for a step back in title and responsibilities?

Ultimately it’s about the best choice for you, but don’t always let the financials be the leading driver if the long term effects don’t have equally beneficial benefits to your career

Sadly, you’ll be asked the same question every time and you’ll be judged in each interview about why you went for lower title, presuming that you were not fit for the same/higher role.

What's your current title? Would the job responsibilities also reflect the more junior job title? Or same responsibilities?

Title doesn't matter. It only matters what are your responsibilities and how well you're compensated for spending your time. Time is the only resource you have. So, if you're doing less work for greater pay - all the better.
