Today I am in two executive roles but don't reveal this "status" or whatever to others. I prefer to let them be unaware who they are talking to and for them to go ahead and show me if they are a piece of shit or not. Role titles are very demoralizing because the people who care about them are there for the wrong reason. The same people who get caught up in titles are the same ones who think setting up a Kanban board is more of a technical process than a human one. When I was in individual contributor roles.. - For the interview process my third role I put "Senior Systems Administrator" on the resume for the previous role, even though that role's "real" title was "Tech Support Administrator". - By the time I got to role number 4, I removed "Senior" from anything on the resume/LinkedIn. - One of the roles I served in the last three years had "Principal" in the title. But that company sucked ass and everyone had these overly inflated bullshit because the heads of the company were basically hiring their friends with inflated salaries who sat around and didn't do much work. This really pissed off the people who did do the work and did earn their role titles. So I didn't put "Principal" on it when sending the resume out. Fuck those people. If I were sending out the resume today, I would just put one of my former colleague's consulting company on there instead.
