I got an email from Ashfield Medcomms to do a team interview. The interviewer doesn't seem to exist, and the interview is super sketchy. Has anyone else run into scam interviews?

I haven't been through it myself, but I know there are scammers who start out with something like that. They usually do a video interview where you can't see them, and the first red flag is that they offer you a job before the interview is finished. It's usually a setup for what's known as the fake check scam. If you Google that phrase you'll find explanations of it from the Federal Trade Commission and other authorities. I don't know about the company you mention, but yes, there are scam interviews. What a world.

Be careful out there! Scammers are taking advantage of the low supply job market. Trust your gut on these things!

I’m looking to move around the company so that I can make commission but I don’t want to be an account manager. Can anyone tell me if there are Customer Success Managers, etc positions that manage customers post sale and have a similar range base as me with commission plans? I’m just trying to understand income potential.
