pls advise: how to start getting interviews for more senior positions? (Director and +)
i constantly receive invitations for manager or SM roles and HR tells me from the very beginning "you seems more senior experience wise but still would you like to participate"
i participate, get offer, try to negotiate Director role or Head of smth role (because what they really want on interviews is that i do higher job but "they cannot give me the title due to politics in the company/u name it"

It sounds like having 'the' title is your most important goal. Titles are meaningless.
What is meaningful is having a job that challenges you and you enjoy, getting paid your worth, and being recognized for your contributions.

If this person is going to be looking for those higher titled roles in the future, not having it on the resume can be a blocker for an interview and to receive the appropriate pay both now and in the future.

While titles are not truely important, the way that HR assigns pay grades is based on the title. So, if this person’s work really changed, the title and pay should change too. Not just a minor one. It should jump to the same level of peers doing the same work.

Continued: and then nothing.

my question is: it s been long time i can do higher level job (and i do it on my projects indeed) but i am struggling to get the proper title.
how to get what would reflect what i do?
i dont want anything below Director role (i am in industry now) i am asking for that and i dont get it.
i do not receive invitations for Director roles (it was 1 time last year but i did not accept the offer at the end)

What I had started doing is my real title on my resume then add the functional role to my resume after that.

So it would look like

Supervisor | Manager | Director | Assistant Dean.

This was because I was wearing all of those hats interacting at each level of those peer conversations.

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?

Had an interview for SM role at ACN 3 weeks back but haven’t heard back. This was skills round interview after HR round. Am I still in the game or it’s a no? Don’t want to followup with HR just yet.

I am getting a little impatient with a recruiter who feels like she has been ghosting me. I need to make another decision with a company by tomorrow but have not heard back from this other company since I’ve interviewed last Monday. I updated her on my timeline and she hasn’t emailed me back. I have her number from when she initially called me. Would it be bad to just give her a call?

Hi Google - I am requesting guidance!

I am prepping for my interview specifically GCA and open ended questions.

Is the desired outcome something I can clarify with the interviewer?
