Total Search Time:
- 5-6 months
- Took a 7-month break, it ended at the start of Feb, but didn't get serious about job search until early March
Job Landed Time: 1 month from 1st interview to offer.
Lead source:
- A former vendor suggested them for the role
- The role was not published or advertised publicly
Interview/negotiation process:
- 3 interviews, first one with CEO, 2nd and 3rd panel interviews (CEO joined 3rd)
- Leaned into strength in marketing but spend significant amount of time talking about sales
- Offered to do a 30/60/90 and fly to present it in a week as a next step following the 3rd interview, they took me up on my offer, but CEO wound up calling me halfway through that week to discuss "more things" and after 1.5 hours on the phone I was offered a job.
- Accepted two days later after negotiating.
Any lessons learned? Always be networking. Not just when in transition.
