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.
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.
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.

To be fair, for their location they vastly underpaid
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 😭
You gotta warn me next time you got a funny this good. Now I have coffee in my nose. 🤣
Technical director
That’s weird. Titles are free.
Yeah, I’m a Nigerian prince.
Oh! I lent you some money ten years ago. I hope you’re doing better!
