Whether you're 32 or 52, leadership opportunities are waiting for those who seek them. It is possible to have it all (specifically, high-quality work/life balance, a fulfilling position, and competitive compensation). Combining the right knowledge, mindset, and actions can put you on the right path to incredible things.
It is absolutely okay to network with executive search firms. Start by sending an introductory email--that's it.
For example,
“Hey there, VOLO.
I wanted to get on your radar. Currently, I lead an engineering team (10 direct reports; 144-member team) at [🛒🌮✈️🚗🚜 company], which is run by non-technical leaders even though we're a 'technology' company. I feel stuck.
Please find my resume attached. I'm curious about what new opportunities are out there.
Let's schedule a call if you have a client seeking someone with my background.
Best regards,

It’s that simple.
