The hiring manager asked me to identify which parts of the role I was most comfortable with, even though a senior-level position like Managing Director would typically require ownership of the full scope. When I emphasized that all aspects of the role are important at that level, the conversation shifted toward a narrower focus, and I was ultimately steered toward a more junior position. It felt like an attempt to reframe the role while maintaining senior-level expectations.
