When I interviewed, I was interviewing for an IT-related role.What happened is, I did interview for that role, and when I was hired, I was assigned to someone I never met and I had no idea what the group did within the IT community. This is less than funny when you consider I worked in IT for more than 20 years and I ended up in a group I had little interest in. The mistake I made was staying in that group beyond the time I was obligated. At GM, you are often "expected" to stay in a role for about 1 year, unless specific, documented discussions occurred. If You accept employment and end up in a role you feel is dead end or you have no interest in, start building relationships with people in other groups and actively seek out roles supporting other groups or projects, that you can pivot to when the time is right for you.
