If you are in a position where you can brag numbers based on your achievements then you can command much more, even leadership role.
5 yrs after grad, I think u should be able to gun for manager or asst mgr post. You may not need to have people under your hierarchy but you stake in the dept should be more significant.
Can you formulate your resume to show more numbers like sales you brought in?
Actually, in my current role (which I just quit), although job title is executive, the discretion to make decisions is extremly wide-ranging, compared to other decisions. I have the ability to make decisions without consultation, and I think in comparision with elsewhere, it is unusual, because when I speak to my colleagues, they all mentioned that even as managers, they have to seek appproval for the work I sometimes do on a daily basis.

Will follow your advice and update my resume.
