This is going to be quick today because it's a reminder when you go into a salary negotiation. And the reminder is, often, when you look at the institutional title, it's too low level. You may have a professional title that says, I don't know, director or manager, but when the institutional title appears in the offer letter, it's a little less than that. And it's important for you to negotiate that, too. Why? Very simply, authority comes from the institutional title, not the function. You may have a functional title of manager but when you look at the title, for example, it may say, senior programmer analyst. And how are senior programmer analyst viewed at that organization? Less than a manager, right? So, don't neglect the title. And if they poopoo the concern, "you're going to function as a manager." "So what's the problem with giving you the manager title." is the way to flip that. They want to put you on the defensive, as though there's something wrong with you. And they're using that to trick you, to manipulate you and to finesse you into accepting something that you shouldn't. If they don't want to adjust that, there's a problem for you that will surface while you're on board because someone who does have the manager title institutionally is going to be able to pull rank on you, because you're on a lesser individual organizationally.

I’m glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now, maybe things would happen for me, but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians, 12 dancers, two major guest stars, 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie. The networks just wouldn’t spend the money today.
