I can help but it will cost you…

And yes I actually mean money given how unique the process is

LOL GET A LOAD OF THIS GUY

From my perspective, I believe you'll be positioned to make more operations type actions rather than being a traditional PM that's more likely than not, solely focused on the actual product side of things

I got invited to a second round interview with a big company. The title sounds more senior than my current title, but the work responsibilities feel like a step down.

Is it ok to reject the offer if they make one, on the grounds of the role not being a good fit for me.
