Recently interviewed for a CEO role with 3 people from the company. 2 of 3 instantly added me on LI with 1 sending a dm saying I crushed it. But the organizer of the posting has yet to reply back. It’s been 3 weeks and nada. I didn’t expect ghosting at this level.

Have you heard anything back yet? I am an executive coach who works with clients at your level on job search and prep. Although it felt encouraging to you when you received that feedback saying you were crushing it, now that you have not heard back it is even more disappointing. I don't like when this happens to my clients. Are you working with the coach to ensure you are prepped appropriately for your interviews? I'm happy to give you a free hour of my time to take a look at what you're doing and how you are answering questions. If you are interested, please DM me. My clients get hired because they are prepared.

For a CEO position, searches can take a few months (sometimes longer). It’s totally fair to ask the recruiter for an update, but for a seat like this you’ve gotta be patient.

Decisions and offers at that level can time. Require BoD approval etc. So while it’s possible, going silent is less understandable. Wish you luck!

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?
