Associate

I applied to a different position at the bank on LinkedIn. Someone in HR reached out to me with job profiles for which they'd thought I'd be a better fit. From there, I said to submit my interest to both hiring managers. I had a 2 on 1 interview with people on the team (both directors, the team was mostly seniors) and discussed my background and fit for the role along with the daily/weekly nature of tasks. I had a great experience with the team members themselves, and made it quickly to a final round which was similarly focused on fit and behavioral questions. However, there must have been some miscommunication since I was under the impression that I was interviewing for an associate position and the HR person came back with notice that it was an analyst role. ING base comp at both analyst and associate level was too low for me, which led to me declining the offer.
