Hey folks, I’ve hit a bit of a glass ceiling at my current company. I’ve been in middle management for about six years now, and while I have the results and the experience, I feel like the really "big" roles—the executive and C-suite positions—never even make it to the public job boards. It’s like there’s a secret club or a hidden market that I just don't have the key to. Does anyone have experience with how these high-level placements actually work in the EU? Is it all just "who you know," or are there specific professionals who headhunt for these roles? I’m ready for the next step, but I’m tired of applying for positions that feel like they’ve already been filled internally. Any advice on how to get noticed by the right people would be a lifesaver.
