At my current agency 6 mos and realized I’m burnt out on ad. My coworker’s wife started at what sounds like my dream job a few months ago. Is it okay to ask for an informational interview through him?

Good day :) I hope everyone is doing well. I am requesting assistance from anyone in regards to a question that a Recruiter posed to me in a series of questions. This process is not that same that I am use to while working as a Recruiter Coordinator. Nevertheless I really want this job and I know that I can and will excel in the role. Yet can someone assist me one on one with one of the pre interview questions, to help me better understand? I greatly appreciate your feedback, time and support.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
