You’re a VP and you want to be an MD? Great goal! Shoot for being an ED first

My last firm didn’t have EDs so I’ve had my eye on MD for a while. I feel more ready with the additional experience but further in my current structure. That’s why I’m looking externally and targeting MD.

Well, recruiters are mercenaries, they won’t lift a finger unless they have an opportunity coming. So be on their radar but don’t count on them pushing you through.
Do networking with outside firms, make sure to have a strong reputation, and get other firms MDs to mentor you
