Hi Fishes, I have received an offer from Barclays for AVP position. But the role discussed during interview was for Tech Delivery Manager whereas the offer letter mentions it as Tech Delivery Lead. Can you guys please suggest if it is the same role or should I request recruiter to get the role updated? Moreover it would be great if any of you can shed some light on the prospects/challenges of this role based on your experiences. Barclays Barclays global service center

Sometimes it’s hard to understand culture because it could apply at the org or team level as opposed to whatever the company culture is. I’m more interested in the person I’ll report to and how they lead vs anything else culture wise
A good idea is to make a list of your main values for your job/career and then make sure that the job and company align to at least your top 5 if not 10. Be absolutely clear on your non-negotiables.
For example, If you hate being micro-managed, find a way to ask your new manager about their management or communication style and expectations. Ask them how they help their team to develop and grow or course correct if needed. Or ask them how they've contributed to a previous direct report's success.
If flexibility is important, understand the company's stance on that. And understand what kind of performance evaluation process they have in place and how any bonus or merit increase is determined so that it's not arbitrary.

I wouldn't take a job if I didn't think I could last a full year. Changing jobs in less than a year is a red flag for some employers.
