Why Your Resume Works for $125K (But Fails at $400K)

A resume that gets you interviews for a $125K job will often get ignored when you start applying for $250K, $400K, or higher roles.

You might have the experience. But if your resume only proves you can get work done, hiring teams will never see that you're ready to decide what happens next.

In this video, I’ll show you how a recruiter’s expectations change at each salary tier, and how to rewrite your bullets so you're not underselling what you actually did.
