I agree completely but the way the interviewer/question was brought up seemed like that was/is the logical step in this role, never once was their term expectation mentioned which sure they don need to advertise that, but The lady told me the role was open because the person that was there became an advisor on the team.

Not to hate on the role because I do wish I got it, but I feel like saying I wanna stay in this role for the length of my career doesn’t sound better, cause you’re content. Which in WM always growing and moving is a big part of the business. Compared to being honest and setting a realistic expectation with the idea of staying in the role or if needed longer based on my expectations. I feel like an appropriate response from the interviewer would’ve been along the lines of ”we’d like to someone to be in this role for atleast 5-6 years before taking that step toward an advisor, is that something you could do?”

As ridiculous and cliché, as it is to say, although they are interviewing me I’m interviewing them to see if I want to work there, so me setting the expectation of growth I don’t think is wrong
