They do that in the industry too. I was told one role, then they had emergency need in a completely separate group after my offer, and gave me the option. I took it and worked out well since it was something I hadn't done before. Sorry to hear OP, but it could happen.

Help. Going through a bit of a mid-career crisis. I’ve been in planning for nearly 20 years and now...when I look at my boss, the CSO, that’s not what i aspire to. Maybe it’s burnout, maybe it’s climbing the ladder and seeing more of the corporate bs, idk. I need help seeing where to go from here. Research? Client side? Startup? I’m feeling lost 😩.

I have a second round interview with a saas company selling education software. This interview will be a 30 minute zoom call with the VP of sales. I am someone from a non- traditional background with 2 years of sales-ish roles but no experience in tech sales and no straight forward sales job.
