Do you ever just feel like I’m over it when it comes to work. Countless times through the day, being overworked and under appreciated. Ugh sometimes I just want to turn in my laptop and find a less stressful job! Don’t think I’m strong enough to deal with this big 4 cut throat mentality.

Currently job hunting. I know a few retired C-level executives who tell me that they would hire me at the director level in pretty much any role (despite currently being an individual contributor) because I'm extremely driven, a life-long learner, a natural leader, and deeply educated in diverse fields (PhD in engineering and MBA in analytics). However, I can't seem to land a senior role. How do I convince an executive to take a gamble on me based on my past success and strong future potential?
