Have you made it to the last interview & learned the job was not what you were expecting? I got past the recruiter & hiring mgr to the peer analyst who I’d be working with. The 1st two sugar coated it but the analyst gave a clearer picture of the job. I’m thankful for the clarity but frustrated because I’ve spent a lot of time in this process & found it’s not the job I wanted. Was told I’d be researching claims, analyzing, reporting. The job is making calls and reviewing/updating Rx claims.

I know the “analyst” title can be pretty broad but at this point it doesn’t even seem like an analyst role. Even the job description was VERY vague! I’m super disappointed because the job pays well and it’s a great company but I don’t want to jump into a role with responsibilities I wasn’t seeking.

You’re right. Glad I figured it out now before I left a job I actually like. My goal was to get a higher salary but I will hesitate if it’s not a good fit.

I would take it and keep looking coz the job market is crazy bad. You might learn something new or different in the meantime that you might utilize in the future.

It's good that your possible teammate was honest and now you know what to expect. If you're not in a bad financial situation, keep looking but know you'd run the risk of the same happening to you. Try to connect with employees on LinkedIn to try to get a better sense of the job. Something like "Could you share what a typical day looks like?" will give you insights about the role, that hiring managers might not tell.
