[quote=Anonymous]Who cares about title.  Title means different roles at different orgs.  Some places Director is higher than VP, others VP higher.

Right now you can be choosy.  So I would only apply for roles you would actually take right now.  If you get to the point where you feel you will be laid off or you see the financials and realize they most likely can't keep you start applying for roles that pay less.

I had to do this before. I had been equivalent of a Country and then Regional Director of 8-and 9-figure programming.  I needed to change fields and went down to a manager role and worked my way up.  It was hard at first, but I saved a lot of money and lived within my means.

Start budgeting now for the lower salary and cut everything you can.  If you get more $, great, and if not, then you saved some money the next 6 months and can life off a lower salary.

Right now it is really hard out there.  Everyone is applying.  Use your networks and let people know you are looking.  Are there any conferences you can attend where you can network a bit?
