You don’t have golden handcuffs with 2 yoe. You have found a recruiter with cheap clients.

What does that mean

At most companies, director level roles are 10-15 yoe, and you’ll look out of touch for even applying. A close friend was at McK, TPG, and now google. He got a director at google with 14 years. So, no. Find another recruiter.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
