@elite.recruiter: “I rent my title. I own my character.” Thasunda Brown Duckett - CEO of TIAA, overseeing $1.5 trillion in assets, one of three Black women running a Fortune 500, said that. And it’s the most important career advice most people aren’t acting on. Your title goes back to the company the moment you leave. Your reputation, your relationships, your expertise, your name in the market, those travel with you regardless of any org chart. Start investing in what you actually own.

this is why I stopped putting my company banner on my linkedin page - my brand is not tied to a company - I AM ME

That’s why I always say “I work as …..” instead of “I’m …….”

Title is like land. You never own it, you have the borrowing privilege of being a care taker. You only own your character.

Not only that you do not own your title, I'm seeing so much people today working more than their title assumes.

Mrs Santa :
I agree with her. My title “Junior Manager” feels like it’s limiting when applying for senior management roles. How do I sell myself beyond my current title? It doesn’t justify my expertise, and what I am worth.
