ColonelPintSized28's journey

I recently had an interesting experience with a hiring manager at a tech company I interviewed with for a software engineering position. They expressed a strong interest in my background and skills, and during our last conversation, they suggested that I start training for the role even though I haven't received an official job offer or discussed salary yet. It felt a bit unusual to me, as I believe it's important to have a formal agreement in place before committing time to training. I've heard from others that this kind of situation isn't uncommon, but I’m still trying to figure out how to approach it.
