Well, honestly, designation today doesn't matter. A simple question to ask yourself is, what is the role change between both designations? If nothing, then there is nothing as senior or junior. In today's world, you have to look at job roles.

Dear all,
Please don't respond if you are not quite sure about the answer. It will rather confuse a lot of people. Officer and Executive are positions assigned by different employers as per their conviction. There is no line drawn between both and no question of inferiority/superiority. In the UAE, the officer post is disqualified in some emirates to apply for a family visa. They need an Executive visa for the same.

Hi,
There is no clear demarcation for differentiating these designations. Each organization is free to choose its roles. Usually, both of these designations relate to junior level/entry-level posts. In my organization, an HR officer gets promoted to a Senior HR Officer.
Has your friend received any increment or change in the profile? What have been the previous trends in the company? She can discuss with her colleagues before talking to her boss.

Dear All, There is no difference in Officer and Executive. Only in new culture most of the company is designating as a Executive in every department. Regards, Santosh Singh Manager (HR & Admin)

Thanks for your reply. Yes, she got a 16% hike (in the Admin team, all others received 10%, and she only got a designation change and a 16% hike). Her designation changed from HR Executive to Officer HRM. Please clarify.

Difference Between Officer and Executive
• It is easy to see that the titles of officer and executive are used based on conventions in different organizations and industries.
• While armed forces and police departments make use of the title of officer, government and private sector enterprises use the title of executive to differentiate between those running administration and those involved with clerical-level jobs.
• There are different ranks in both officer and executive nomenclatures, and the roles and responsibilities of senior-level employees are defined according to their titles.
• In general, officer is a title used for those holding a bachelor's level degree, and even young recruits in the sales division are referred to as sales officers to make them feel good.
• An executive is a person who has had some specialized training or education and obtained a professional degree such as an MBA, or they are educated a step higher than officers.
• Executives are seen getting a higher salary than officers in the same organization, though organizations having only officers are exceptions.
HOPE THIS WILL HELP.
