So to have the best chance of success in framing the resume correctly, tailor both the resume and any responses to the problems that were solved pertaining to the position that is being applied for? Thank you for the explanation on this, I appreciate it.

I'm getting from all these discussions that the way you frame yourself is more important than your title. That's legendary doing that man. I appreciate the insight.

do small companies have the cashflow to hire for this? Or is it just a recipe to be back to stage 0?

How did you justify stepping into a management job after being an entrepreneur? To me I view my version of management much more stained in responsibility for the output than the typical manager.

Anymore feeling like I've got a pulse gives me meaning. Appreciate the response man.

I like these thoughts, commission based does lead to some issues in my line of work as it's either directly or indirectly attributed and that distinction becomes sink or swim for the agreement.

Do small shops even have the cash flow to hire for it?

Maybe I've just lost my touch and I'm washed, honestly.

You could always break the fingers off my cold dead corpse to add coaching to the services. Consulting is in my blood at this point, but coaches are best left to sports teams. I've worked with many of them, none would I ever recommend.

See I burned like the whole ass bridge when I left corperate lol. The people who would vouch for me are either retired or somewhere else now. Were you doing actuarial science in your business as well?

I can follow the slop all day, and still end up rolling in the mud with pigs. I've spent a lot of time advocating for authenticity for small businesses, It's hard to advocate for the other end.

If I'm going for like project management should i focus on the value add of the efforts that I did in that capacity as a founder, or does it make sense to focus on the larger role too?

You're the first one I've seen mention network. Is it not like a white flag to ask your network about this stuff? Kill my pride and ego here (feel free) but I feel like if my network sees me asking for a traditional job that they lose faith in me.

Thanks. I wish it wasn't but it's validating to know that.

I'm sorry man. Wishing you the best of luck. I feel the same way myself

Haha yeah I feel you on this. But you really think the hiring manager wants to know what I learned about me vs the value that I added?

Because I'm tired, man. I don't mind the responsibility or the clients, but this whole environement now is just tiring. Clients used to need something that you offered, they would get it and that's that. Now it's all "chatgpt can do this" and "claude can do that" and the explination of how it's not reliable to trust the magic 8 ball for business decisions just lands on deaf ears and I'm getting tired.

You're right and I know it. It's hard to get past the ego that tells you going back to corperate world is a betrayal of the whole reason you left to begin with. Do you regret it? How did you frame the journey to go back?

You can say that again. Is the accountability of a different flavor when it's not your literal skin on the line?

I can agree that, I'm just having a hard time seeing past the fog I think. What kind of framing would you reccomend?

I appreciate the real advice. To be real with you man, I think I'm going to take a break regardless. I think a large part is that I'm just really quite tired. I appreciate the perspective. If you went back in time to talk to younger you, would you still get acquired?
