Design lead i interviewed with told my recruiter that they loved the interview and thought id be a great fit, but hesitant that id be “bored” in the role. Whats this mean? Should i tell the recruiters i gave it more thought and am excited for the role? Bummed i gave off a disinterested vibe

I thing you’re misunderstanding the feedback.

I doubt you gave the interviewer a disinterested vibe. Odds are, the interviewer looked at your portfolio and previous client work experience and now fears that you’ll be bored b/c the job you’ll be doing at the new place won’t be as interesting as what you’ve done previously (and you’ll jump ship).

We’ve used that term on candidates before that come from a background that required a way more creative thinking and energy than our job would give them.

It’s almost a compliment. Though I think that should still be up to you not them

I think it’s often a good move to send a thank you follow-up mail to your interviewers (you can cc your recruiter if you like). You can use that mail to clearly summarize how you actually feel about the role after the interview. Best of luck!

If they're upfront about that, you gotta take it as a clear signal that the work might not be challenging or creative. They're being transparent and trying to manage your expectations. I say kudos to them and no reflection on you. And you have to ask yourself if you'll be happy one year in.
