i had two companies in a row try to bait and switch me. first one told it was a senior PMM role with about a 20k raise. definitely felt worth the leap, got offered a just PMM title and only a 5k raise. i said no, they said ok 10k raise but we can budge on the title. i said no again and then they come back 10k raise and the Senior PMM title. I said absolutely
not and they wanted to get on the phone and keep talking it out. Hard no. Huge red flag IMO.

I did, I wanted to get out of consulting. The TC offered was about 100k more than what I was making, group was same but at a level lower than what I applied for.

The tc was the deal maker for, also I felt I could get an even better exit opportunity from Amazon than from a big4.

So you're leaving amazon or this role was for Amazon?

Bait and switch you in what sense?

yeah, I would stay far far away. Very shady

I exposed the practices of the consulting/passthrough company to the actual client with whom I have been interviewing, who wanted me, and I knew it, and set my rate way, way, way over what the middle-man was going to pay me, (basically illuminating their margin on me) after asking the actual hiring manager to help with the process at that company, so I can start as soon as possible and start doing what we have been discussing in the interviews.
And that middle-company has loved me for years after that! Why? I don’t know. Maybe they had to.

Only here there was not a typical bate-and-switch, which you are probably asking about.
