Pursuing Finance opps at Director level and above. Have not had much experience with 3-statement financial model in more recent roles but have had done it in investment banking about 10 years ago. I see many startup roles require experience in it and some even mention extensive experience.

I'm a quick learner and can get up to speed for the role and can learn quickly on job. Is this something that should discourage me from applying?

Do your best to learn it on your own to hold yourself during an interview. Never let something hold you back from applying like the worst an interview can do is better prep you for the questions for the next role you interview for

I wouldn't let it stop you, but be honest about it obviously. You probably have other qualities they'll want in a Director, at least in some cases, and if other candidates have that skill but not the range of experience you have they'll be willing to get you up to speed I'd bet.

No. Apply anyways. You never know what will happen.

You should still try. You'll never know until you try. Just prepare well for the interview. Best of luck!

Hi guys,

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager.

I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!
