In one respect a director-level role is more appropriate, but the other side is that all I've done is lead a small team with a very small budget. That's not typically comparable to the responsibilities at BigCo. The more senior positions also tend to be very formalized and process oriented, which I know nothing about. My process has always been, "Nothing like X exists and I think people will buy it for Y-dollars".
It's steadily declined from a peak of $900k, so this year will be $100k. Correct, margins are not great. I don't plan on selling the business, but mostly because no one would buy it. If I thought I could turn the business around to the point of being a healthy one-man shop, I would definitely not consider looking for a job. But familial obligations require a steady income.
