Currently even if I work “remote” certain weeks, given the amount of hours I end up working, I’m only at home physically but not mentally. I think the only way to change that is to switch to industry at some point but I don’t want to take a pay cut or settle for a lower position than Director.

don’t know about best time. I’ve been a Director in industry and it is ALL about relationships at that level. You most likely have the relationships you’ve built over time with some now VPs (you will need exec support to pull you in and up). Reach out to to your contacts and see what’s open or what they may be willing to create for you.

I don’t think there is a best time. Find a director role you want and go after it. You might even know someone via your LinkedIn network or another colleague that can help you get your foot in

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?
