Curious how other founders are transitioning into corporate leadership roles.

I built and ran a large private company with real C-suite structure, board oversight, and full operational accountability. My titles reflected formal, legally defined roles within a structured company not vanity titles. After relocating cross-country, I stepped away—and without a traditional corporate path, I’m hitting friction even for aligned roles.

What’s worked for you?

For one, hang in there. Similar situation. With AI being used routinely for trigger words, it comes down to refining your resume based on every position you are applying for. It is more time consuming and yes, can be annoying, BUT you will start gaining traction. The employment market is a little bonkers right now so understanding reality helps a little more too ... on average (without strategy) folks are applying to about 115 places before hearing back. I am happy to help outside of here, free of charge. Just to help bounce things off of. I went through a similar situation.

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does. I see a lot of open roles - managers, senior strategists etc. I have a top 20 MBA and about 8 years of big 4 experience in consulting - would this be the right kind of role to get into? Or is it more engineering?
