Hello Fishbowl - sincerely requesting your help and advice. I am a 4 year associate - with a law background. After numerous conversations with my manager, I finally read between the lines and realized there is no room for growth on the team or even an opp to become a VP “unless a current VP a moves up.” Often I am told that I have my team’s support but nothing really happens - it’s a mental toll. Been trying to find an external role and it’s been super hard. Any advice on how to deal with this?

Hard to give more targeted advice without knowing more, but I would do this two fold.

1) Build a list of target companies and roles that you would like work out. Look at your existing network and see who you might know that can do an introduction with those companies. Have a conversation with people at target companies. Find out where they are hiring. Refine your target list. See if you can get a referral. Keep networking till get through the majority of the list.

2) Apply to open job postings. This is a numbers game. Apply, apply, apply. Get referrals where you can. Get in touch with recruiters where you can and it makes sense.

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience? Also the ramp up period is not realistic. Average sales cycle for a reputable SaaS provider is 12-24 months. How on earth a start up can state that their ramp up period is 90 days? The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
