Advice on timing of asking fur a raise and an elevated job title.
I just had my initial three month review. It was as a glowing review with above expectations. I know my boss really values the work I do and all the past experience I bring to their organization. However, the pay was far below what I had been earning but I had been looking for a job for six months and took it quickly. I still don’t regret doing that as the six other leads I had going at the time just disappeared. Also, the title is not a Director level. I brought thar issue up during my final six person zoom interview in which the HR head attended. Her answer was preposterous and decided to let it slide as I knew challenging her would cost me the job. So when I took the job my plan was to ask for a raise and title change after six months. Should I ask for the title change now, and then ask for a raise at the six month mark? Or just wait to do both at six months!

I think you should continue applying for jobs and interviewing as you are not crazy about one of the jobs and it is unclear if you will be offered the other.
If the company less interesting to you offers you a position, you should alert the other hiring manager to let him/her know that they are expecting a response in x days. (No company would expect a response on the spot; it is perfectly reasonable to take time to think about it). If they are truly…

My leader left. He had to find a place that respects his skills and dedication, not here.
I am depressed because of all the uncertainty and lack of support I am experiencing now.
How do you stay motivated and not depressed when so much is out of your control?

Many others have said that you will either get the raise in the promotion or you will not .
Please be aware that there is a third option as well.
The company may see you as greedy. This sounds like a job that you took , which was a few steps down in pay and title from your previous experience. If you bluntly point out the fact that you are overqualified for the position, they may agree.
And let you go.
Asking for a promotion and an increase in only ninety days, raises huge red flags to me as a manager.
Don't put a target on your own back in this way .
You may find yourself looking for a new job. Play this carefully and consider the possibility that you would be shuffled out for your "ask".

In my opinion you must ask for both your raise and a little change right now. If you feel that way, that means that you deserve it.
However, be prepared for the rejection. What are you going to do next?
Are you going to continue working for them , or, you want to leave that job?
If you want to leave that job, you have to have another job opening ready for you.
Good luck!

Thank you. I do not have anything next lined up, so perhaps I better sit tight :(
