I am interviewing for a role and I met with the potential supervisor for this role and I am noticing red flags that they are stubborn, a know it all, and potentially rude. Despite me feeling that the interviewer hates me, the company has taken me to the final round of interviews. Are there any ways to check that this is actually the case and not just my paranoia

If you get an offer, ask to talk to other folks on that team to learn more. Totally reasonable for you to want to do your research before accepting.

I’m pretty unhappy in my current situation. At a firm that won’t let me relocate and have been looking for in house for a year, which is probably because I was too junior to be searching until recently

I wouldn’t work for someone who gives off red flags and I’ve only meet them once or twice. Nope

Depends on size of company. If this person has ability to influence leadership in all areas, I would stay well clear. I had this from a head of HR during my interview and I still took the job and she was a mega-See you next Tuesday (to everyone) during my time there. Wish I had heeded my own warning system.

Trust your gut and don’t second guess yourself. You don’t want a boss with these types of red flags. They won’t listen to you, and won’t set a good example for you to soak up leadership/manager practices. They may also have a very rocky relationship with others. If this is showing up in an interview, I’d be worried it would intensify when you are a direct report.

Speak to 2-3 people who left recently. This type of boss may also provide negative references, so former employees can tell you what’s going on.

Do you think that it’s maybe a one-off situation; specifically, have you had multiple interviews with them where they came off as you described or was it just from one interview? The fact that they moved you forward does mean they clearly connected with you in some way. I’ll advise that for the final round, if you have a chance to interview with potential team mates, find a tactful way to ask about their experience with this supervisor.

I met with them twice and they gave bad vibes both times. They made faces while I was speaking and said something that they thought was incorrect

I used to work with a coworker always look at the ceiling when I talk with her. Not fun.

Any tips for moving up in a medium/large-sized legal department, aside from switching companies?
