Hey folks,

Currently a senior EM (2 years + as EM) with total 7 YOE, looking for opportunities in the industry.

Have an interview with Visa strategy team. Want to understand if Director is really the right level for folks exiting at my tenure or if I should push for Sr Director.

P.S. currently on a health sabbatical so not planning to go back to McK

At 7 YOE you'd be pretty junior even for Director in the current leveling ladder (which changed a year or so ago with the senior manager level added). Director generally hovers around 10 YOE, although there are always exceptions

If you're a rockstar, def shoot for SD - why not. But YOE may constrain you

Thank you for the input! Helpful to have an inside perspective.

It is not straight forward, as the assessment will be based on the merit and suitability for the position. Our team recruited recently someone who has 25 years experience + was people leader and still ended up in senior manager position. You DO NOT choose hierarchy (Dir / Sr Dir etc) at Visa. Visa Inc is not a consultancy company like PwC, EY etc. The job role you have applied - already had the seniority defined in almost all cases. So, ask the recruiter what this position is - Manager/Sr Manager/Director etc.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
