My #1 recommendation is reading https://staffeng.com/book. There’s so much variance between orgs at this level (or worse, implied during a reorg).
One of the things that book helped me with is understanding the lens others view this level as four separate personas. That unlocked for me that you might be getting advice from people expecting something other than you’re going after.
Another lens is the product engineering v corp/cloud security world. They can act very differently and you often find these roles straddling 2-3 unique orgs.
Just remember there’s a lot of variance in higher level processes. Read the book above, then read 20 job descriptions for these titles. See if you can understand what they really want from the role.
Just listened to it again. Highly recommend. The short of it is more searches == more ads == more $. There’s a conflict between a great search experience (landing not on google) versus the time you spend ON Google.
Great story and just terrible outcome.

It’s definitely there because of the same politics.
It counts! I remember finally deciding to invest in headphones that I could easily replace the cables first.
Bluetooth for music is great. Bluetooth turning into “why does my headset change to cruddy codecs 20-30m into a meeting” … no so much!
