I have £19m to £75m revenue in approx 20 months bootstrapped start-up CTO on my CV. In the UK market folks aren't particularly receptive to that sort of thing.

- ownagefool 3y agoI think it's a combination of the market and assumptions. - Some think I'm no longer technical enough because I've done managerial stuff, despite recent work being hands on. - Some think I'm not managerial enough because I still do technical stuff. - Some think I've somehow failed because the specific role was only ~20 months ( it was actually equity shenanigans ) - Some think I'm too senior and won't stick around ( despite the role being top of the market pay wise ) Mostly, I don't really know, because when going through the front door, they typically don't respond, and in actual fact the only leads I get are the ones that contact me. But I think our specific culture focuses on reasons to say no, rather than reasons to say yes, and the current market only helps compound this, even if the outcome is worse. Of course, I might just be shit, but they also likely don't know that by not speaking with me. :)
