Also, re: your question about VP interviews — the more senior you are interviewing with, generally it will be less structured and more like a conversation. I would, at a bare minimum, prepare to explain any part of your resume thoroughly, answer why this firm / why this role questions, and spend the remaining time researching the company and the latest trends in the market. Best of luck

I’ve never interviewed with a VP so what kind of questions should I expect?

So a director role can be wildly different depending on the industry. Some more traditional industries have directors that are pretty high, while in finance for example directors can be two years post-MBA

Should I tell her that I have only 4 years of work ex or go ahead with my call with the VP and see how it goes? I don’t want to make a fool of myself but also don’t want to lose the opportunity

I wish I had a chance like that. Go for it!

I agree with S1, definitely go for it. If nothing else, at least you would have sharpened your interview skills and know how to handle these types of interviews moving forward. Don’t worry about how many years of experience you have, but focus on the depth and breadth of the experience and skills you’ve acquired. Project confidence and do your homework about the org. All the best!

Always take the interview, you never know.

Go for it! Incidentally, there are a lot of really unqualified VPs in industry, luck of the draw I suppose, so don't let years of experience requirement bog you down. Having post graduate degree also adds 2-3 yr experience from HR perspective, if that helps
