Applied for product manager role in ecomm. But instead got offered tech project manager. Company is also in the middle of acquisition. I don’t have any offer in hand and i really want an out from current employer.

Would it be wise to take the alternate role?

I think you’re right here. I’m great at project mgmt and it’s a small part of product mgmt too but I don’t want to get stuck as a project manager in the long run. I’d only be taking this job as a stepping stone because I know I’ll still keep looking. My chances of getting a product manager may also go down due to the title change and my resume may not be picked up by the recruiter too.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience!! I’m stuck at my current job, i don’t want to be stuck again in the next one. I still have about 3 months time to make the geo move so hoping I’ll get better at interviews and land a job!!

Hey everyone,
I recently started at HubSpot as an account executive covering SMB. I’m finishing up training and a Salesforce recruiter reached about a job opening doing pretty much the same thing. Salesforce was near the top of my list of prospective companies. Curious if anyone has experience working there and would recommend it over HubSpot?

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?

I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

I have a in person(online, 4 hours - 4 people) technical interview coming up and I have been practicing my coding for the past 3 weeks. The only thought I've been having is "what if I can't solve the coding question?" I am still fairly new to the software engineer scene and the position is for a level 1 software engineer.
Does it essentially end my chances if at any point I can't solve the question? I mean I will definitely attempt to talk it through, ask question, but no progress in code. 🤷
