Why does nobody talk about the $4,000 pay cut you take when you jump to a smaller company for the title bump
Left a steady gig at a 60 person firm in Phoenix last fall for a "senior" role at a 9 person startup, took a $4,000 hit on paper for the fancy title, and now I'm doing the same work plus ordering office snacks, so is the title actually worth the money or did I just buy a word?

did I just buy a word" hits hard because that's the same trap as paying extra for the "organic" label at the grocery store, you feel fancy but the food is the same. Companies know we'll trade real cash for a nicer sounding thing, whether it's a title or a sticker on an avocado. At least the avocado tastes good, your new title just adds snack duty to the job.
