Welcome back to The Career Diet Podcast. If you’re aiming for a job that pays $150K, $180K, or even $200K+—but you’re stuck wondering why nothing’s working—this episode is for you.

You’ve got the experience. You’ve worked at big-name companies. You know you’re good at what you do. So why aren’t the interviews or offers coming your way?

Let me tell you: you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re just using a strategy that works for $60K–$70K roles—not for strategic, senior-level opportunities.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 biggest mistakes I see talented, senior professionals make when targeting higher-paying roles—and exactly what to shift to start seeing real traction.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

✅ Why applying harder doesn’t work—and what to do instead to get in front of decision-makers

✅ How to stop thinking like a $70K employee and start showing up like a $200K strategic hire

✅ Why being great at your job isn’t the same as being great at landing the job—and how to fix that
