I just had a first round interview with HR. It’s a large company with tons of reviews about what the interview process so I expected to get behavioral questions. In reality the person spent the first 10 minutes explaining what the role is not. They could not answer specific questions about the role and only asked me two specific questions about my current job and 1 behavioral question and then went into salary/benefits. Is it typical to still go over salary if they don’t expect to move forward?

Yes. I would have loved to say “No, i think you’re good” but usually they go over those details as well. Don’t forget, candidates also end interviews if they don’t find the comp reasonable (which happens a lot more than you think).

Thank you for your reply, I thought this might be the case. It was an odd interview from beginning to end. It seems like they are having trouble finding qualified people and my experience fits the job exactly but I did not get the vibe they were interested in me during the interview. I guess I’ll wait and see!

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
