I interviewed recently for a vCIO role at an MSP. The first interview, the job title was vCIO. The second interview, they called it senior consultant (not that weird, but worth noting) the third interview it was called an entry level consultant role (something is definitely amiss, but I'm invested now so interested to see what happens) and then the 4th interview I am finally told the actual position is for Technical Account Management. Essentially sales, little to no consulting. They offered me a job at an abysmal rate and I declined.

Just wanted to share that, since I noticed you had several interviews where the job and JD you applied to ended up being two completely different things.

I've had this happen twice - once a while back in a job I actually took. They told me they were hiring me as a marketing manager. Then once hired said, well, it's going to be account executive. I was a little put off, but they said they'd give me a whole county to myself. I thought that might be okay. Go through the two-week (almost utterly useless) orientation and report in to the office where they tell me I'd only get half the county.

Turns out the half of the county I got was already over-saturated and every single customer or potential customer I contacted over 6 months said they hated the company I was working for. Every single one. It was unbelievable.

Actually, I've often thought of writing the stories of my employment. I have quite a few doozies.

You should! People are doing it on LinkedIn and making small fortunes lmao. And sounds like you have marketing chops! 😂

Making fortunes? On LinkedIn? I mean, I live in a cave and all, but you'd think I'd have seen this. Got a link?
