Figuring out the right title: working backward
If you see job titles that look like what you want to do, even if it's not what you do now, you can work backward from there - figure out what the level below that is, or find people in that role and see what their previous title was. That will help you title yourself to be successful in your next career step.
Be careful of "unique" titles. You'll see job posts for things like "Marketing Guru" or "Happiness Maker" or something similar. Just skip those—they're too vague and don't map to anything that will help you down the line.
