Q: My current title is Group General Counsel. I want to switch jobs and am open to a more junior title/role at a larger company. How do I convince an employer that I’m ok with this?
A: Titles can be tricky things. Sometimes they mean a lot and other times they mean close to nothing. So accurately interpreting the actual role and responsibilities tethered to a particular title can be challenging for a potential employer. Because of this, employers can make incorrect assumptions about the lawyer performing the role. This can prove troublesome for a candidate because when it comes to a job search, titles can play a key role in influencing interviews, compensation, job leveling and the overall viability of a candidacy.
