I recently went through a tough 4-round interview process over 3 months for an 18-month rotational program at a company. After the final interview, where they were interviewing 4 candidates for just 2 spots, I received a call from the hiring manager a week later. Unfortunately, I wasn't selected for the program, but he mentioned that they were impressed with my performance and wanted to know if I would be interested in a different role that they believed suited my skills better. This new position is a regular job, not limited to 16 months, and offers similar or even better pay. I gladly accepted the opportunity, and the manager assured me that I wouldn't need to go through all the interviews again—just a final meeting with the department supervisor. The role isn't posted publicly, which adds a layer of uncertainty. I'm curious if this kind of situation is common and if it indicates I'm likely to secure this new position. I don’t want to get my hopes up too high after being rejected from the program.
