I was rejected for an Operations Manager role but the recruiter said they wanted to consider me for Senior Operations Supervisor, which is a step down. I was way overqualified since they were looking for 2-4 years experience and I have 12, but I was still interested. I interviewed over Zoom with the same team as before, so it was a short conversation since we didn't need to rehash the same behavioral questions. They mentioned internal candidates were applying, which made me think this was just a formality and I wouldn't get the job. I got a denial a week later. It's frustrating because people who are qualified and willing to take pay cuts to join a good company are overlooked for internal hires. So, is someone looking to change careers in middle age with a decade of experience supposed to start at the bottom? It's ridiculous.
