Had 2 rounds of interviews so far for a job. I would expect a 3rd if they're going to make an offer. But anyway, just wanted to see what people think to this. In the 1st round interview with the recruiter I was told the person I would be replacing had moved onto another project in the company. In the 2nd round with the hiring manager I was told the person I would be replacing had moved back to another country and there was no other project in the company. So, alarm bells?

Eh, I wouldn't be too worried about the mismatched stories. My assumption is that the recruiter either got the information wrong or misremembered the details, neither of which seem like cause for concern to me.

I feel like the recruiter could have easily misunderstood the situation. I would trust the hiring manager and not worry too much about it. You could always look up the company's reviews and reputation online if you're really concerned

Hmm, there could just be misunderstanding about the situation- I would still carry on the interviewing process, see what the offer is like and thoroughly read the contract!

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
