[quote=Anonymous]When you were offered a lateral position externally, that is an indication that you were not perceived as fully qualified for a VP level role yet.  They were willing to give you a chance to prove yourself, but they were not making you any promises.   A different, possibly smaller, employer might have been willing to offer you a VP role directly, or possibly not - it all depends on the alignment between your accomplishments and qualifications and the criteria established for the vacancy.

But, use caution in focusing exclusively on the title, instead of on the overall compensation package and on growth potential.  It's possibly to be a Director and be much more highly compensated than a VP elsewhere.

If you're being passed over where you are, then that employer may not be where you'll ever get promoted (analyze the feedback you received after your unsuccessful applications) and it's possible that you won't have such a ceiling elsewhere even if you start our as a Director instead of as a VP.  In such a case, moving laterally to a new employer offering you more future growth potential may be the smart, if intermediate, move.   [/quote]
