Dumb question since I haven’t interviewed in 10+ years. Do you contact headhunters for Director level jobs, do they find you somehow? Or best to just apply directly in company sites? Thanks for humoring me.

If you set yourself up to be visible on LinkedIn, you should be getting a ton of recruiters reaching out to you. You have plenty of experience, they'll come to you!

This. They find you and via LI. Got contacted via a LI executive recruiter for a global firm and excited D as an MD and entered as a P.

Good question, I’ve been wondering the same.

I always get emails on linkedin for senior roles. Also 10+ but visa, so nothing ever works out. DM if you're interested and I can share some info

1. Set a bait to trap them - update LinkedIn with right keywords. Set LinkedIn as open to work. They will find you.
2. Go chasing - go to top recruiting sites. Create profile and upload resume. Check their consults page and drop a note to connect with ones most closely aligned to your target area

If you are not already getting LI recruiter interest that is a concern

How long do y’all like resume bullets to be? I know to keep them to 1-2 lines and to keep the resume to 1 page but I’m conflicted about how to balance details vs white space. I’m in product and see some resumes with bullets averaging 5-10 words that state “Manage roadmap for $200mm product” while others use ~20 words per bullet and highlight product info, process, or impact in a bit more detail.

When I was a device driver developer with 2 years relevant experience I had got calls from Nvidia and Qualcomm. Unfortunately I wasn't able to crack the interviews back then.

For next 5 years I worked mostly on application development and broadening my exposure. I am not getting even a single call from such companies now.

Is it a good idea to rebrand myself as a device driver developer so that I can get calls again?

Hi all, looking at exit paths, 3 years post MBA at MBB, would love some advice! Leaving aside company & comp, curious to get thoughts on roles & career paths.

What do you think of Operations (think run the core of the business) vs. Bizops?

I'm leaning Bizops since it's more similar to consulting and may be a smoother transition, but what's the career path there, if you already enter at a Director level? Would Operations position me better for future roles and complement my consulting exp?
