I am an experience IT professional (12+) joined in a Media Company about 3 years ago, at the time of joining I surprised to see my designation it was entry level designation of IT, that time HR told me that it happened from company’s headquarter, but it will take more than 3 months and suggest me to accept this offer letter first then they will process correction of designation.
My Situation was very bad due to lack of salary payment of my previous company and under the recession of IT sector so that I accept offer letter on joining day.
My roll on present company as per my experience as well as some more responsibility not directly fit on my profile but my designation still maintain like a entry level IT professional.
I am getting half salary in compare to 5 year back. I don’t have problem with my technical skill, but underpaid and junior designation bond me to work as bonded labour.
I want to switch my company need to back IT sector. Please suggest what should I do?

Dear Employer,
My advice to you is not to fill any feelings of inferiority by comparing yourself with others. Instead, search for other similar jobs that match your qualifications. Remember, money is not the only important factor when you demonstrate strong performance in your current role. By doing so, you may attract the attention of the HR manager and potentially receive a promotion or a salary increase.

Hi,
Many companies do goof up on such designations so that people do not leave them. Many of the manufacturing industries also have such designations like a railway compartment series, Staff-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... Executive/Engineer - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. By the time they get to become a manager, it takes about 20 years, which is almost the lifespan of many organizations. But a few innovative organizations do give fancy designations, but in the end, money does matter in many cases.
Take an appropriate decision; you are the best judge of your destiny. All the best.

Your HR said it would take 3 months to change the ESIC nation. But you said you have been working for 3 years. I didn't understand the mismatch. Did you go and ask them again for the change? You should not have waited for 3 years to change from a low-paying job. Recession made little difference to the salaries and demand for good designers. Apply for new jobs. Show them the type of work you have done; change should not be a problem.

Thanks, Swasta,
After joining, I have moved my application through HOD but did not get a proper response. Every time I was told that it takes one or two months. After that, I asked what the reason behind it was, and then they told me if you are designated properly, then you can switch your job because I had an overburden of responsibility and work, and they did not want to lose me as an employee. I don't want to engage in unfair activities by switching jobs and taking risks like that due to the heavy responsibilities of my family and no other source of income.

You are working for a company that is very short-sighted, apparently. Well, apply to new companies anyway. During the interview, tell them they have given you a lower designation, but this is the work you are doing and your responsibility. Most recruiters will consider that, not just what your designation says. If possible, get HR to provide you with a job description that you can show during an interview.

Hi,
When searching for a new job, it is important to properly explain your situation to the new company's HR and technical people, who will likely be the interviewers. You may be asked to demonstrate your skills in tests conducted by the company. Approach these tests with a positive attitude. If you feel that your current company is not a good fit for you, it may be best to leave as soon as possible. You can consider restarting your career with smaller but growing companies.
Remember to communicate your intentions professionally and respectfully during the job search process. Good luck with your job search!
