Not sure why you would move laterally from big four to regional. I would punch for senior manager

Don't do lateral move. Go for SM as above poster noted.

Why do want to go to regional firm? What does the title matter in your overall objective for the move? Could the manager at regional be the last stop before principal/partner?

Depends. Are you wanting to leave because you don't have great relationships with partners and senior managers at your firm? Switching might help you. Make sure you know what you are getting in to. Talk with future prospective employers A LOT. Ask lots of questions. Request additional discussions.

Hello All!

Last year I pivoted internally to a Product Manager role, which has been good to me; however, I think I would like explore Product Marketing. I’ve always loved story telling and want to combine that with strategy. Any tips on how to transition to the field?

A little background on myself is I have 11 YOE.
2 years - Marketing
8 years - Merchandise Planning and Category Development
1 year - Product Management

Thank you in advance for the feedback!

Currently job hunting. I know a few retired C-level executives who tell me that they would hire me at the director level in pretty much any role (despite currently being an individual contributor) because I'm extremely driven, a life-long learner, a natural leader, and deeply educated in diverse fields (PhD in engineering and MBA in analytics). However, I can't seem to land a senior role. How do I convince an executive to take a gamble on me based on my past success and strong future potential?

Should a DevOps Cloud Engineer with 2 years experience earning around 10 LPA (base salary) in a Fortune 200, switch to a startup which pays almost 20 LPA base salary?
The reason to ask this question is, wouldn't it be difficult at the time of second switch, to move to another big organisation after one is already at 20-24 LPA with just 3-4 years of experience at a startup?
All thoughts are welcome.
