Have you ever been promoted but not given a job description of your new role with the expectations?

Yes. Not a while back our staff was reduced, and it took a while before we were able to hire for that role. I began to assist on matters that role would typically lead, and in which I was not fully involved before. After a few months and keeping matters a float, I received a promotion. I sat down with my manager to ensure we were both aware of the new expectations for me. I should say I came into the meeting with a list of the things I used to do, and the rest that I started doing or what was added along the way, to make sure we were both aware (if it wasn’t explicit) That also gives them an opportunity to tell you, “yes you are still responsible for that” or “no, we now would like for you to direct your attention to X” or a combination of both… good luck, and congratulations!

Thank you - I have to admit it’s frustrating. I’m a doer but what if they are looking for me to “do” something else then suddenly it’s “you didn’t do”. I want to ask for clarification without ruffling feathers.

Congrats on your promotions!
My answer is: Yes. Been trying to get clarification for over a year. I now just tend to my client related tasks and admin tasks (small office) and let the ambiguous things just ride with whatever mood the boss is in. It's been a roller coaster. I sincerely hope you are able to pin your description down.

Yes. No matter how many times I ask.

Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.

Value Vs Price

While selling something I believe in, I've always focused on the value to justify the price & leave a little room to negotiate.

If I personally believe in a terrific, purposeful value packed product that commands a certain price- I would make sure it gets reflected the way you position, pitch and solves a crucial pain point like no other.

Reason being simple- If you believe in something it's easy to sell
