Personally I can understand companies prefer someone having a strong track record at 1 or 2 companies for a proper period of time in 1 or 2 particular fields.

Media buying is not easy. Finding new affiliates is not easy. Generating sales and growing revenue these days is not easy. If you were really good at it you wouldnt be here trying to find a job cause people would hire you in a heartbeat.

Don't take it personal please but 16 years of experience in this industry doesnt mean much these days. At least not to me
True experience doesn't mean much as things changes often,especially at seo field where it literally changes on daily bases.You just need to learn stuff from scratch again.And also i found it absurd when a newly formed company looking for affiliate manager with goal to get more affiliates - this is simply bad idea as affiliate manager cost atleast 2k$-3k$ monthly,and nobody have that power to be able to bring affiliates which will justify it's salary.Even if you would be a butt buddy with some big tube owner,they will simply stick with stuff for which they know how it convert/bring money instead bothering with trying new sponsors(not to mention how most of tubs sell their traffic to brokers anyway).So in shortly,an established company which already have affiliates and experience should look for affiliate manager with primary purpose of managing current affiliates,not just seeking for new ones.
