I went through a multi-round interview process that left me with mixed thoughts — but also valuable insights. The first round was with the Senior Associate Director. It was an engaging and meaningful discussion. We spoke about strategic alignment, leadership expectations, and how I could contribute to the team’s objectives. It felt like a strong mutual fit. The second round was with the Chief Growth Officer. This conversation went deeper into industry dynamics, market positioning, growth levers, and competitive landscape. It was intellectually stimulating and energizing — exactly the kind of dialogue senior professionals value. Then came the HR round. While I respect the importance of HR in ensuring organisational alignment, I was genuinely surprised when the conversation reflected a lack of clarity around my current company’s structure — TA lead couldn't understand my company structure
