Tips for negotiating a CD title out of an ACD role when they know you’re clearly qualified (and you do, too)?

Thanks all so far. For clarity, this is while interviewing

Are you interviewing for a posted CD job or ACD job? Could be budget and what they are looking for don’t match what you are looking for? I’m in the same boat. My first question for another ACD gig is “what is your upward mobility? I’m looking to grow into a CD position in the next year” if their answer is different then I have to keep looking. If I didn’t have a job though, my thinking would lead to underselling myself

Threatening to quit is usually quite effective... if you believe it and don’t care about the consequences. Got a 50k raise and title change on the spot when I said I’d quit as an ACD. I had been asking for it for months nicely and was “clearly qualified” too, but that didn’t work.
This is one perspective.

Hi Fishes,
I recently got shortlisted for a Product Manager position at Tracxn. There’s also an IPO coming up which is the reason I had applied.
But I have read some horrifying reviews about the company on Glassdoor, indeed and other forums.

I’m wondering whether it’s worth going through the interview process and I’d also like to hear opinions from anyone who has worked with the company or is aware of the company culture.

Thanks.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
