Today I got another rejection email for an industry position. I have officially turned off “open for opportunities” on LinkedIn and no longer actively applying, I want out of consulting not another consulting firm which is what I received a lot of inquiries for.

I guess this is the realization that I’m stuck here for another 1-2 years until I make manager and become more relevant in the exit market…

Keep trying to leave sooner. As a manager, I can confirm that opportunities don't magically get better in a year or two, even with a promo to manager, unless you have a specific managerial exit in mind.

I think I’m going to take a break for a while and evaluate some options. Something I kept hearing from recruiters was that based on my YOE my salary expectations where misaligned for the roles they were recruiting. However given my current salary is 110 and I was targeting 120, I think the “manager” title would help negotiate higher salaries ( though at that point I would be shooting for a higher target)

I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏
