Phoop23's journey

I recently interviewed for a scientist position and felt confident about my performance. I have several years of relevant experience, but I’m still finishing my degree, which I will complete this spring. During the interview, I mentioned that I’ve been balancing work and school, and I’m capable of managing both responsibilities effectively. Now, I’ve received a request for additional information for HR, and I noticed an update in my profile indicating that an offer is pending, but it’s for a technician role instead of the scientist position I applied for. The job description and working conditions are the same, but the title has changed, along with the educational requirements, PTO structure, and compensation model. I’m a bit puzzled and concerned about this change. I’m wondering if this technician role is a temporary position while I finish my degree, and if I would transition to the scientist role automatically upon graduation. I’ve prepared a list of questions to ask when they contact me about the offer, particularly about the specifics of the transition and how it affects pay and benefits. Has anyone experienced something similar? I’d appreciate any insights or advice.
