Career Backstep?

[Hawkeye]

If you were offered a contract on £100 a day more than your current role but had to take a step back in your career would you?

I have been offered a position at £100 a day more as a Junior PM than my current role as a PM. I am torn between the money and my career progression on my CV.

Thoughts?

Sorry, are you a contractor? I'd always assumed that career progression was for permies. Take the money and run, then lie about it on company advertising (cf cv)

Take it! and put it down as a PM not Junior PM on the old CV.

There is no career progression, only business growth.

In today's climate.....hell yes! Take the extra cash!

[Cheshire Cat]

The role is PM. That you'll be reporting to another PM, or working within a "management team" in neither here nor there.
£100 extra per day!

What they said!!!

Take the cash and be environmentally friendly on the CV, it takes less ink/toner to print Project Manager than Junior Project Manager.

Very true! The money is so much better!

I am a contractor but each role on my CV is a good step up from the last. It works quite well for me when applying for contracts.

A new car would definitely be welcomed right now! Would anyone when getting a reference really check the actual job title? I personally doubt it but just to double check?
