Agreed with all you said. I&#x27;m curious how one manages their career at this level. I got my current gig due to some peculiar circumstances. I don&#x27;t think companies interview for these positions. You need to have a track record or some kind of &quot;in&quot; (the original poster seems to have come in with an acquisition). I&#x27;m two years into my job so am not sure how this goes forward. Wish I had a mentor :)
