I am joining RBC in first week of January as director. But I have another interview lined up in January with another team at RBC for senior manager. My preferred role is senior manager because it aligns more with my career goals. Can I join in first week of January and move to another team in few weeks if offered a role, considering it will be a demotion? Im fine with demotion but is it allowed? Can’t ask recruiter/HM because they are on vacation and I need to decide if I am joining in January.

John Deere Financial was a great company to work for until you take their Voluntary Separation package & leave the company. After 24 yrs at the company, was ghosted by HR when I had questions about the package. No exit interview. Just an email letting me know to turn in my work equipment or face having to pay for it. Treated like garbage by management. The pandemic lead the organization to offer the packages & they threatened layoff if packages not taken by employees. Horrible experience

TL;DR for Fishbowl - I was making six figures in Finance but hated it for the most part. Made the leap to Recruiting ($60k base) and have been killing it, but we don’t make commission and our quarterly bonuses haven’t been paid out for two straight quarters. Should I move on to a new place (have an offer likely coming this week), stay here and hit the year mark, or jump back to finance (had a final interview yesterday, at least $20k more on base)?
