Question on generalist vs specialist path to becoming a CXO at a tech company!! I am in mid-40s, work for FAANG at senior level in sales role with a TC of $500K. Not a VP or CXO yet, and that's where I want to go as the next step in my career. Over the past 25 years, did sales (10-12yrs), delivery(5-8yrs), Strategy & ops (1yrs), and Product mgmt. (1-2yrs). I still believe need to sharpen my skills, so focusing on transferring to S&O or Prod mgmt. role in my current company. Makes sense?

I've been in practice for about a year at a high stakes plaintiffs litigation firm. I make $85/year, I'm in the office at 8 and leave around 5:30. I work occasionally on Saturdays. When we have something big coming up, I stay extra to get it done in time. I've never missed a deadline.

I had a meeting this week where the partners told me they questioned my commitment because they were working more hours than me.

Am I the problem here and should work more, or is it time to find a new job?

Michael Andrews: slightly less value for money, same fabrics, outsourced bespoke, light BS due to flashy showroom 8/10
Enzo Custom: stylish and fashion-forward, good value, in-between M2M and bespoke, flashy in a good way 9/10
