Background. I'm a tech lead/mgr, six figure salary, etc.
I would like to get into a more executive level role. At work, I "hang" with the executives. I'm one of the people in their inner circle, lunches, after hours, you name it.
But my work resume doesn't reflect the experience with these people at the exec level because my title is a lower level manager title, despite the fact that thanks to these execs, I actually outrank MY manager. I don't report to him, only on paper. It's complicated...
Alas, I DO run a business that I make 260K a year from. It's a real estate business, but it shows business skills. I am the CEO/Owner/Operator of this business. I could easily demonstrate how I create value at an executive level with this on my resume, despite it not being directly related to my primary job (technology).
So should I include it or no?
In line with that, would it be bad to include stuff like this in a cover letter, to show how I built a 260K a year profit business (profit, after all expenses...) in a few years with me being the owner driving everything? Would it be bad to say I'm a millionaire??
I ask because I imagine the $15 an hour recruiters who see this are more jealous than in awe at my skills.
