How can I successfully transition to a higher-level executive role in this job market? I was a director previously, but I took a manager position at my current company for a better salary. While I enjoy the work, my micromanaging boss has burned out at least two of my peers, with one even stepping down to work for me. I've been applying for new positions, but I'm not getting any responses. Any advice?

This market’s tricky, especially when your title doesn’t match your experience. I’d focus on reframing your current role on your resume and LinkedIn to reflect the scope of your leadership, not just the title. Also, are you networking with hiring managers directly? That makes a huge difference right now.

Stepping down in title for better pay is smart short-term but can confuse recruiters. To shift back up, reframe your experience on your resume to highlight leadership impact, not just your current title. Network like crazy! Get referrals and connect with execs in your field.

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!
