Yeah, Ubisoft. I applied as a Sr Engineer. Did the interviews, including a "Sr programmer" HR interview.

I got the offer, Sr engineer, signed the papers. Started. Not even 3 days into starting they said they made a mistake I wasn't supposed to be a Sr role, redacted the title, but didn't touch my pay.

I still tell people I was a Sr there. I don't care, lol. Apparently they did the same to my boss, he was supposed to be a VP. Dropped to a TD

I would take that as a solid win in my books. Sr level pay, but lower level work? Sucks that it's likely more customer facing but, that's still a W then if they had done everything right.

To be fair, for their location they vastly underpaid

yeah I have these title only promotion offers and have been like nah. Usually it comes hand in hand with more work. More work then more pay. I could give a trump about titles.

What title is TD? I’ve been wracking my brain but can’t come up with anything. Team Director? Edit: oh, Tech Director?

It's Ubisoft. They turned him into a tower defense 😭

That's weird. Titles are free.

Oh! I lent you some money ten years ago. I hope you’re doing better!

Yeah titles are nothing. Technically I’ve never held a senior title but after the first decade I just kinda added it on my resume where appropriate. It’s more of a knowledge/experience thing than a responsibility thing anyway. Though I realize some places expect more from their seniors like mentoring or being pseudo lead.
