Senior Planners are pretty much underpaid Planning Directors, IMO. If they are impressed enough with you and dangle that carrot, take it! It's the only way to get a promotion anymore in this climate.

Yes. Just make them what to hire you first. Don’t get ahead of yourself

You can certainly ask. If they really want to hire you they may do it, but I’d be reluctant to essentially give someone a promotion without working with them first.

Any ideas on how to swing that conversation if an offer is presented?

Fortune favors the bold. Tell them your aspiration to run the show. Ask what that director position requires, then see if you fit. If so, smile and pitch. Good luck! 🍀

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
