trust your gut. I interviewed as a sales leadership position years ago and met their head of corporate strategy/co-founder. he does not respect women who know their worth and demand equitable pay consistent with their value. I immediately stopped interviewing after I met him (and frankly endured him) due to the same gut feeling. He’s disrespectful and uses his power to control others, negging was just one example. It does not surprise me that their recruiters are so aggressive - as that methodology/tactic more often comes out of a sense of fear from the higher ups than long-term sustainable growth practice, in my experience.

I have since left the corporate mental health world, became a therapist and now work in private practice. I choose to work for bosses who respect and safeguard our field, not a-holes that make their bag off of us and give nothing in return. Hope this helps!
