What do you think of applying for different senior level positions (SD/VP) at the same company? They are completely in a different area but I have enough experiences to tweak my resume and make it sound like I’m a good candidate for both. It’s relatively a small company (~500 employees). I’m afraid doing so would make me look like a generalist or I’m fabricating my background, especially since at this level, they look for a SME.

The position I applied for yesterday is what I really want but might be a stretch. New posting I found this morning aligns better with my background. I also can’t wait until I leave consulting.

I wouldn’t just apply... try speaking with the recruiters / hiring managers about each role and figure it out with them... am sure they’d steer you to the right fit if either was.

That would be ideal but I didn’t have any connections there so I had to cold apply. I will see if they respond to my initial application. That position was posted about a month ago whereas this one was posted this morning...
