How to Evaluate a Job Offer Title vs Real Responsibilities

Episode 59 of Career Crossroads with Fexingo dives into the gap between a job title and the day-to-day work. Hosts Lucas and Luna dissect a case from a product manager at a midsize fintech who was offered a 'Director of Strategy' role but discovered the position was mostly operational execution. They break down how to spot inflated titles, ask specific questions during interviews, and use tools like LinkedIn to compare title-to-scope ratios. Lucas shares a framework called the 'Three-Tier Title Test' — checking span of control, budget ownership, and strategic input. Luna pushes back on whether titles even matter early in a career, leading to a nuanced discussion on when to negotiate for a different title versus walk away. By the end, listeners will know exactly what to look for in a job offer's title clause and how to verify it before signing. #JobTitle #CareerAdvice #JobOffer #TitleInflation #CareerCrossroads #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #JobSearch #Negotiation #ProductManager #Fintech #LucasAndLuna #ThreeTierTitleTest #LinkedIn #SpanOfControl #StrategicRole #OperationalWork Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
