[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi! I am 42 years old in big pharma. I have mentored many formally but my company is not giving me direct reports on the org chart. I am promoted and very well compensated (even compared to other peers who are having direct reports). I built out a project, and yet again, they are bringing in a younger person to manage the team and I will stay on as SME.

I have expressed my desire for a managerial role for almost 5 years now. I have changed managers in between that time and I am typically just laughed off.

I want to go into management to really build out a team and really grow the project. I think I will be more effective as a true line leader.

Is it a marketable proposition to approach other companies citing desire for supervisory experience as reason to leave?

Thanks![/quote]

42 is way to old. You were laughed off for a distinct reason.[/quote]

This is what Im trying to fight. i am promoted. i am looking more and more like a weirdo unicorn with a fancy title, fancy office and no team![/quote]

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth

And

Don’t worry so much about what other people think.  They’re mostly jerks, idiots, or both. [/quote]

It limits my options and I will hazard keeps me trapped in this company. An external company would expect direct suprvisory experience of many years for a lateral title[/quote]
