They can replace their C-suite with me. The fact they don’t want to because I’m not some rich, well-connected, historical CEO does not mean they don’t have the option.

I’d do the job for just the basic pay package.

Have you considered that you are perhaps not a very good big-org leader, and perhaps that is why they have not hired you?

Simply stating they can hire you and they don't because you're not already well-connected clearly demonstrates you haven't an idea what these people actually do.

And you are qualified to judge right?

My point is that there are a lot of people that would make perfectly fine CEO’s skipped over because they’re not already a CEO/born into connections.

The strongest signal people use for determining whether they would be any good is whether they’re already one. Which is how people that torpedo a company get re-hired anyway.

Unlike for example, engineers, where we assume they can’t program their way out of a pack of butter even when they come in as a principal.
