-Delegate even more than before.
-Start to spend even more time on your relationships, both internal (product teams, industry coverage, etc) and external (lawyers, wealth managers, consultants, etc), so you can actually source.
-Start looking for speaking/publishing opportunities if you have an area of expertise or niche focus.
-Toastmasters - a lot of you nerds aren’t all that great at public speaking.
-Now you really need to spend time with a mentor you trust and knows the politics of the office so you can start to join those games.

This is really helpful thank you

A good VP is already acting like a director, that’s how promotions work in true IBD groups.

Kinda sexist right?

Am transitioning myself here and one thing I found practically helpful is to give more and more execution to juniors (still remain in the picture but let them drive) which assuming similar work intensity overall inevitably will give you more time to think about biz development which is actually what you will be paid for

(38F). My boyfriend (39M) after 2 years together (long distance but travel to one another and spend time), suddenly told me he wants to try to be a musician again. He did this in his 20s , failed and started his corporate career at 26. He’s a Senior Manager in Fl but i personally feel is underpaid. He was supposed to move in to my place in September and start living together. I initially told him I would support his music on the side while he pursues his corporate career full time. *Cntd below*
