Anyone had a FAANG company try to mislead you in applying for a role you’re overqualified for, hoping you’ll jump just for the name? I was approached by Apple for a channel sales role. I made it clear that I have been a senior manager in the past, and wouldn’t take a more junior position than that. The recruiter said the seniority can be defined later, and we should just talk. I had one interview, which went really well. Next thing I knew, they wanted to schedule 6 more interviews [cont]

I went through 14 interviews prior to getting the offer from Apple. They don't care about your prior experience but interview performance.

Your level is determined by your interviewers.

Might I recommend that you never leave consulting.

Using your logic ...your career level at a new company would be determined by bcg.

When I asked to speak to the recruiter, because I would really like to clarify the seniority of this role first, he didn’t reply, and instead, the recruitment coordinator just tried to push on with the interviews. In the end, I told the coordinator, I needed to speak to the recruiter first, and then everything went quiet from there…

Any similar experiences?

^^pm1 insight is good. Could be that the level is flexible and will be determined by interview.

Also a lot of people from MBB even at PL+ will exit into IC roles in tech (well compensated ones though).

I guess before committing to 6 interviews, I wanted to ask a few questions about scope and nature of the role. Given the recruiter didn’t respond to a request for a call and kept pushing for interviews, this did not give me much confidence. Interviews are two ways.

Sounds like your recruiter dropped the ball. What do you want to know - I'm sure we can answer your questions and then you can determine whether to continue with your interviews
