I’m currently a Staff Systems Engineer (was promoted from Senior last year) and I’m looking at a position with the title “Systems Engineer”, which had significantly higher compensation.

Would going for this job be a bad move? Would it make it higher to jump to a Principal Systems Engineering role harder later on?

    Titles are kind more of a “soft” tool for job descriptions and really comes down to the positions entitlements and work scope. Could be “Principal System Engineer” or could be “Omega wowee 1337 Engineer”. Titles a title, go for specific compensations not titles imo.

    Anyways best of luck buddy!
