Be careful, odd experience. Submitted resume, recruiter reached out and it was all very exciting when talking about salary and role details, which seemed very tailored to the info on my resume (verbally, not in the online JD). I had an interview with someone who is not as experienced as me where he asked a lot of specific questions on how to do certain things on my resume. The biggest red-flag for me was the fact that the interviewer was asking architectural and work-flow questions about services that he said already existed in their department with active project groups ongoing that reported to him (because of course, he is a very important person). Questions that someone would ask a support team while trying to get something working or needed a smart sounding strategy to tell executives, like a proposal for what they plan to do as an SOW. That didn't quite hit me until a day or two after the interview. He wouldn't need basic architectural setup information about services on which they already had active projects running, at least not the kind he was asking about. It's a blurry area, but the dialog wasn't in a way where someone was trying to test your expertise so that they could be sure you'd be able to contribute to the projects, it was in a way where someone was trying to get clarification on something they didn't know about or couldn't get working. There were also other standard red-flags like, being late to the meeting, making you wait another couple minutes while he "finishes up this quick task", cutting you off often before you finish one answer and going back to other support help questions - these are typical micro-bullying and manipulation tactics people use to keep you off balance and to get information. Sometimes that doesn't register in the moment when your brain is in "techy mode" and just working through problems, plus it's a tech job interview - so that's theoretically the whole point of the meeting. I always kick myself later when I don't detect and act on it in the moment. Plus this guy was not dressed well (like he just rolled out of bed), had lots of twitchy nervous behavior, and even had a little bit of a competitive vibe with me, which does not make sense. Before the interview, the recruiter said he wanted to circle up for mutual feedback, regardless if they wanted to move forward with the position, which I thought was a positive thing and would add value to doing any interview - but he didn't return the follow up call or email, so essentially ghosted. Which is typically fine, but not if you explicitly initiate and set an expectation to touch base afterwards. All of this is typical in corporate tech these days, but I didn't expect it from an established bank, which comes with a lot of reputation liability in that sector, at least not from the get-go during the interview process. Be sure to force them to fully describe the role a couple times to see if it matches; it didn't match the couple times I brought it up. Get all the usual questions answered before going deep into your tech ideas and details. i.e. what's the report hierarchy, what department, and anything associated with visibility. Don't blow through the typical petty micro-bully nonsense and at least get the satisfaction of pointing them out in real-time (politely) so you can see them squirm and try to weasel out of it. All notes to my past self, ha. Good luck out there, gang.
