Unless there is worldwide consistency (which there is not) in the hierarchy of titles across big companies and even geographically within individual companies, then surely the title does not matter so much as the job description.For example, how does a Brand/Strategy Director title in the US or German affiliate of a multinational compare with a Brand/Strategy Associate Director title in HQ with WW responsibility?"Who knows" is the answer to that, it depends on the company, the job description and the options going forward.Seems to me like you need to talk with HR and your interviewers at your prospective new company. Or provide more detail here...One other thing to consider - depending on the situation, there may be something to be said for coming in fractionally lower, putting in a stellar year and obtaining rapid promotion to provide some impetus, as well as picking up valuable experience that you may miss out on at a higher level.
