I’ve got a client who’s got her sights on the C-Suite *gone girl* buuuttt there’s just one small obstacle…her current job title.

Not her skills, experience, amount of responsibility. Her doggone Jr. job title.

She came into the org in a junior role and though her responsibilities and impact grew, her title didn’t.

But what does that have to do with making more money?

Everything, because the leap from a Jr. job title to a Sr. title, let alone executive seems like a huge leap for most hiring managers. She’s likely getting written off for better, high paying roles because of her current title.

If she already had a Sr. title she’d automatically get the “qualified” benefit of the doubt.

Bottom line, to help her land a better job and earn a bigger salary, we’re working on a strategy to convince her boss to “right size” her title. Once she lands a new role, we’ll be negotiating a better title to make sure she’s perceived on paper as someone who’s ready and poised for the next level.

Titles matter when it comes to elevating your career and coins. And yes, they are negotiable.

Opportunity Awaits,

Ashley
