Currently an M and a recruiter reached out for a Sr D position at a company with 4K employees. Am I psyching myself out or should I prepare like it’s any other interview? Even if I excel, am I setting myself up for failure with such a large progression?

Titles mean nothing. VP's at banks are a dime a dozen, look at Google, everyone is a lead or head. Congrats on the opportunity, but prepare like any other interview. If it really is a stretch role, good, you shouldn't embark on new opportunities unless you're at least a little scared. Growth comes from failure, no matter how small.

Which sales role would would YOU rather have? Be honest..

1. 200k working 30-35 hours a week
2. 275k working 40-45 hours a week
3. 400k working 55+ hours a week

Think of these as different roles and how many hours the job takes to be successful in it to make that amount in your W2. Working more will not make you more and working less gets your fired.
