A google recruiter reached out to me about a financial analyst role. I’d love to work at google but I don’t think the role is a smart fit .. should I reply thanks but no thanks?

I would probably say “I’m interested in other roles at google based on my experience xyz would be a better fit. Do you happen to know of any roles within that department or can you connect me with a recruiter in that department?”

Second this

Also think it’s worth just applying to. Your info will be placed in their files - many people got invited to their networking sandbox events because they had interviewed with Google before (and failed) lol

This happened to me. I sent my resume even though the role wasn’t a smart fit and she said that X role would be better after looking at my resume and put me in touch with the recruiter. They might align you throughout the process if you pursue it!

Talk to them. Quite possible the role may be completely different than what you think.

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
