It is a reasonable point. It comes up even at later stages on your career in professional services where even as a partner you may not have “led” large numbers of people or whole businesses.

I am always surprised at non operators not seeing this issue.

So a key issue is being able to present your experiences in a way that shows you know this.

They want leadership experience not managerial experience. Which means leading teams through challenging times, motivating them to work weekends, influencing senior clients etc... which we have plenty of opportunity to speak about.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
