Detained Sales Director

Gang, I'm new to Bravado so I ask for your patience with my etiquette/language/format/etc.

I am having a hell of a time finding a new role, coming recently from a 2-year Director of Sales position with a hardare+app solution. I've made it through multiple multi-round interview processes for both Sr. IC and Director roles, but no offers.

At this point, I'm feeling some sort of imposter syndrome and as if I'm not capable of landing another Director/Manager role. Most SaaS companies are passing because, I think, I'm coming from a hardware+app solution. I've worked in bleeding tech for years; network IT, cinema tech, media workflows, digital asset management, etc.

I'm reaching out to seek advice and group-source some feedback.

The startup I was with ended up closing its doors for a number of reasons, and has left me at a loss because I put my heart and soul into building the sales unit. I was essentially the only sales person, built the global VAR/Disti channel, handles SMB-Enterprise sales, Strategic relationships with partners, rolled out SFDC and admin'd, owned sales integration tools, and was a big part of the GTM strategy for new markets.

So whats the problem? My interview pipeline has been packed since the departure. I'm burnt out. I've had between 2-5 interviews/wk for several months running, but no offers. One crushing "we're going to pass", but otherwise strong interest. Between research, notes preparing and putting decks together, I'm pounding my head on the keyboard. From the small bits of feedback I get, most of the companies I've met with end up shifting internally so they can promote multiple sales people. Understandable, of course.

Patience and thick skin aside, I'm feeling defeated. I need a kick in the ass from like-minded pro's like you all.

Feels vulnerable to post this, but I'd love to hear feedback from the group.
