At what point in time do you generally feel the most settled/ not the newby/ feel like you know what you’re actually doing in a role? 6 months? A year?

I go by the 3/6/9/12 month rule. At 3 months you hate your job and feel like you don’t know anything. At 6 months you start getting the hang of it. By 9 months you’re in the grove and feel like you’ve totally got it. By 12 months you feel lost again because now you’re being asked/expected to go deeper or broader and it feels like square one. At 2 years you’re ready to be promoted or move on....and it all starts again!

Currently job hunting. I know a few retired C-level executives who tell me that they would hire me at the director level in pretty much any role (despite currently being an individual contributor) because I'm extremely driven, a life-long learner, a natural leader, and deeply educated in diverse fields (PhD in engineering and MBA in analytics). However, I can't seem to land a senior role. How do I convince an executive to take a gamble on me based on my past success and strong future potential?
