Would you advise somebody to take on a ‘stretch role’, when they’re relatively new to a firm? A Partner just pinged me about a ‘high visibility project’, but something feels off. I’m all for professional development, but I don’t want to risk messing up…

Why spend 4-6 hours interviewing me just to say there isn’t actually a current role for me? Should I be reading between the lines (if so what does it mean?) or pressing harder for more detailed feedback?
