For those who left PA at manager level or higher, how did you finally do it? I've been trying for months now but no offers yet that would pay enough. I was told twice by places that interviewed me that they went for someone with more "experience" - which I think is code word for someone who already is working in-house. I've resigned to working another busy season here but need some hope. I'm done with PA but I'm stuck for now. I'm an experienced manager.

We’re all on the same boat. We have been bamboozled to staying until manager. Wish I left as a senior
