Hmmmm I’d say thank you and just ask if you can stay in touch.
If the response is from a recruiter of headhunter you can be more direct about your career path
Go for it, best of luck
I would entertain a discussion and learn just what they're looking for and explain your goals live. If their goal is succession planning and you'd be C suite in a few years that might be good info to know.
Sending an email like you're describing will likely come off as dismissive and if you don't care that's fine, but he could have connections in your area/level of interest and he likely won't mention those in an email.
Love this perspective. Thanks for sharing! I agree. That’s what I’m leaning towards. Would love to chat and build rapport / connection and as you said, you never know how things might progress.
I’d just be direct about what you’re looking for, I can’t see any real reason not to be.
Ditto my thinking. I’ll obviously be super polite and professional but the takeaway I want to convey is that I’m looking for a step up opportunity and a VP role is essentially a demotion or lateral move at best.
If your title on FB is behind and you actually are SVP level, then you should ask for that. If you’re still a director, I’m not tracking how you’d be SVP or c-suite level unless it’s a small, small company.
I don’t think I missed the point 😂 you said you’re at an SVP-equivalent level, but you didn’t specify that it was your title, and still nowhere have you indicated an absolute size of the companies we’re looking at other relative sizes. It could have been that the work you’re doing is SVP level, but you remained at director in title for some reason. It could be that you’re SVP-level in title, but your company isn’t huge (I don’t say I’m c-suite level equivalent just because I founded a startup and am the “COO”). But ok, continue to think your communication skills are perfect and that nobody should ask clarification questions.
I would be honest and share your feedback as you just stated.
How big is your current company? How big is the other company? One can be a C-level twat at a 10-person startup all day long but this will not equate to a C-level position at a F50.
Both companies are same size. In fact, mine is slightly bigger.
