About 1 is realistic. Depending on industry company’s size, you may get Director from
Senior Consultant at Deloitte.

Really depends

Depends on the company. Not all Directors are equal, there are plenty of positions with “Director” in its job title, but pay less than a manager role at your firm. Smaller companies usually have more inflated titles with lesser pay. Now if you’re talking about a Director position at a F500, then I would say probably anywhere between 1-5 of Manager experience, but YMMV.

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?
