Curious if there are any Director level people in this bowl that managed to exit to an industry (FS) role by applying to a job posting at an organization where they had no relevant connections/referrals. How did you manage to land the exit ? Would appreciate any insights aside from the typical paths of networking your way in, ATS bingo, pain letters, or reaching out to the hiring manager on LinkedIn.

Interesting- looking for similar exit.

I mean outside of the paths you listed, how else do you expect to get in?

That’s the point. Can’t think of other good options and conceptually wondering what value does HR/recruiting bring for senior level positions if the name of the game is to circumnavigate HR/recruiting.
