Technical Presentation
I got an interview request and replied quickly, but they got back to me three weeks later. I finished the first interview round and am now in the final stage. They talked a lot about the 'new structure' and the product, with hardly any project management questions. Weirdly, they started talking about the product's technical side, which isn't normal for a PM role. They do offer training for this, and my CV shows PRINCE2, MSP, ITIL certs and two master's degrees in engineering, so I guess they figured I could learn it. It felt like they focused on stuff not related to the job and changed what they were looking for. This seems more like a job for a solution architect or a senior PM. It felt like decisions were made for reasons outside my control.
