Applied at Fintech startup for Campaign Manager

I recently went through a frustrating experience with a Fintech startup where I was offered the role of Campaign Manager. The interview process seemed to go well, and I was optimistic about the opportunity. However, just a day before I was set to join, I received a call from HR with some disappointing news. They informed me that the salary package was significantly lower than what I had expected, even after I attempted to negotiate for a better offer. To make matters worse, the letter of intent I received downgraded my designation from what I had originally interviewed for. I expressed my concerns, emphasizing that the lower title would hinder my career growth. After some back and forth, they offered me a similar designation to what I initially applied for, but not the exact title I had been promised. Ultimately, I decided to decline the offer. I felt that accepting a position with a lower title and salary would set a bad precedent for my future with the company. It was a tough decision, especially given the current job market, but I realized I couldn't compromise my worth.
