Is being an executive a matter of having the money to pay for

promotions are based on reputation and character not qualifications or performance. Hard work doesnt get you a promotion, it ensurers that you never get a promotion, a good worker stays a worker.

It doesn't work like that, you need to have experience to be an executive.

Best way to become an executive is to get a finance/accounting/business related degree.

Idk about america but in the UK you can get well known accounting/finance related professional qualifications for free if you do apprenticeships.

Reputation matters and it's largely based on your past successful outcomes. People who are shit rarely make it past regional manager level. Once people become directors/VPs and such they've usually got a long history of results in addition to being well thought of. If you can get results by being a lazy conniving piece of shit/diversity hire/have a velvet crotch I guess you'll make it but most people tend to work their asses off for a decade + to get there.

No, the best way to become an executive is effective networking. At the executive level, no one gives a shit what you did in college.

Well a college degree is a good way to get a headstart in your career.

>Networking
People aren't going to let you become an executive if you have no skills to show for it.

Yes, lets poor 60-80 hours a week into becoming the model candidate for executiveship. Or you could spend that time building passive income streams so that you make money while your on vacation.

The ladder to become an exec is very attainable. It's currently my goal.

I graduated with a marketing degree in the spring semester and landed a job working next to the VP of Sales at a leading global Saas company.

I got the job based off my interview skills, my high school door to door selling experience and my part time construction job while I was in college.

I suggest studying epistemology and ontology. Helped me a great deal in my interviews.

You say that as if there are specific skills associated with upper management.

There really are. Basically every conversation at that level has the potential to fuck your future.

To be fair a lot of executives do have accounting/finance degrees.
