I want to move from a good MM to a BB/EB as a first year VP. My resume is solid (top schools, top grades) but applying online seems like a waste. I don’t know people at every place either. Any tips?

You need to find a HH you trust. Not easy to do but once you have found him or her - they can test the waters. Ask friends who have moved for recommendations on HH. Direct approach is not recommended IMO.

Also the BBs generally don’t use headhunters and I’m way too old to be sending cold emails lol.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

I realized a slow pace at work is really bad for me. A couple years ago I was experiencing burn out from my fast paced job supporting transactions, and believed by moving to a slower job in a lower cost area, I would be sailing off to the sunset. Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
