New here and looking for some advice. When I started with my company, I was hired at the manager level. I’m now at the VP level with corresponding salary and financial package but looking for a job change. Not sure how to move on to something better when VP roles aren’t readily posted to job boards. I did submit my resume to 2 executive search firms, but haven’t heard from either one. Where is the best place to look?

Titles are company/industry specific. Don’t be hung up on getting a job with a VP+ title. Look for postings based on years of experience. And leverage your network along with websites like levels.fyi to find out what titles mean at different companies.

Agree with this. Also salary bands are very blurry the higher up you go. So theoretically you could make more as a director/Sr. Director than you currently are as a VP.

Jobs at that level - or higher - are mostly personal references. You gotta network in your industry, go to conferences, get your name out there, speak on panels. Join local professionals groups that focus on bringing together VP level and above individuals for networking. That’s where you’ll find these jobs. Let people get to know you then put word out you’re looking to jump ship to a new company. Do not count on recruiters - generally they don’t place well for positions like that. It’s really all about your network. Or that’s what I’ve learned as a CEO.

Opinions welcomed:

V5 Legal Assistant here (2 years in industry, started at current firm in late April). I’m on pace for 2700 billable hours / year. To boot, that rate is going up because of all of the 65+ hour weeks lately, and the first month being billed around 40.

I was just told that I may not qualify for any bonuses because I haven’t been here for 1 year.

Is this normal? Am I crazy for thinking that I should be getting a *significant* bonus for all of the crazy hours and deadlines?
