Working with a recruiting agency for exit opps. I got an interview for a manager position that typically requires 7 YOE, when I have 2+ YOE and should probably only be a Sr. associate. They saw my resume. Any thoughts on why they would want to interview me for the manager role?

Because you have the experience they are looking for. I have a friend who got recruited for a PM role that required 5+ years and project management experience

She had the specialized experience they wanted and got the job, doubling her salary

See where it leads and be confident

Ex recruiter here. Is this an interview with the client ? If it is then great, maybe the client sees something in your CV or sees you for a junior role.

If it’s an interview with the recruiter then this is just a first step and they could have a multitude of reasons for speaking to you. They could be genuinely interested, or they could be looking to get leads out of you, or they may be trying to get access to some of your managers etc . Always proceed with caution when working with recruitment agents. They can be great but also remember they are working on commission and are very money driven.

This is an interview with the client. I’ve gotten past all of the introductory conversations with the agency

Is anyone else facing the brunt of working in a service based company and trying to move to a startup product company being dragged down by the 90 days notice period.

Even established product companies shy away at this. Has anyone recently switched despite this long a notice period?

Would greatly appreciate input from others.

That would be a lateral move for me in terms of level which be okay if at least it was a good pay increase but Their quoted pay range for the lower level would make it almost a lateral move financially too..
