The reason to ask this question is, wouldn't it be difficult at the time of second switch, to move to another big organisation after one is already at 20-24 LPA with just 3-4 years of experience at a startup?
All thoughts are welcome.

Hi Everyone! I’ve been in direct sales and B2C companies for the last 15 years, selling software and supplements. Post pandemic I’ve grown tired of sales. I’ve been craving change but I’m at a loss on where my skills would valuable. The last decade I’ve been fortunate enough to move into management, mentoring sales/account managers. I’ve been moved a few times to turn around underperforming customer service and sales teams and it’s become a unique skill. Could I lean on some of you for advice?🙂

Restructuring my resume now that I'm a "mid senior level" employee, coming from being a mid-level management consultant. Two questions on resumes I'm curious to hear your thoughts on:

1. Dates: Many MBA resume templates (Wharton, Tuck) advise people NOT to use months and just stick with years. I just use years since I think it looks cleaner. What do you think?

2. Old Jobs: Going to leave off my first post college job (was there for a year). Any risks here? It's still on my linkedin.
