Is it wrong/bad to accept a job offer for a position which you have gone through the interview process for that requires 2 more years of experience than you currently have? It is for SC at B4. I just recently became C.

I’ve never had a job where I met the experience requirements. It doesn’t matter if you’re past the screening phase and interviewing.

Makes me feel better haha. Thanks!

Not wrong. Just might be a tough adjustment for some

like

Yeah I am a bit concerned I won’t be able to handle the role and demands of it.

Did you lie about your experience? Or did they deem your skillset appropriate for the role regardless?

Nothing wrong with accepting an offer that you interviewed for honestly, eff that impostor syndrome noise

likehelpful

Fair point. Just want to be certain of that point. Don’t want to end up accepting an offer and have a very tough time adapting to a role I definitely should not be in.

As long as you’re comfortable with having a difficult adjustment period, then nothing wrong with it. If the hiring company thinks you can do it, you more than likely can handle it.

Appreciate that advice. Yeah, I guess better to focus on what I can do rather than what they think I can do, if that makes sense.

Hello guys. I had a phone screening for a clinical laboratory position in Seattle. I’m currently living in Atlanta.

The recruiter said the pay would be 82K with a 10K sign on bonus? Is this enough? Thank you in advance 😊😊😊

It would be weird tell my team this, a lot of personal details would have to be explained, and I’d cry, so I’m saying it here instead. I am thankful for my team. I am thankful for my desk. I am thankful for the same meetings I complain about. Even when I’m only ‘responding without comments’, I’m still thankful.
