[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 94472, member: 17165"] Hi [USER=18621]@S21[/USER], It's great to hear that you feel comfortable enough now to post on the forum! I am now looking forward to seeing your contributions on the forum elsewhere. 🚀 Based on the information that you have given us and to add to what has been said already, particularly from [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER], I would ask questions to clarify your worries. For example, I think it is absolutely fair enough to ask if you would be contractually obligated to continue working in X department if you accepted their offer. I think it is also fair to ask what the scope is for movement afterwards within the company (as they will know that circumstances change and with that, your feeling about which area you want to work in may also change). Asking for clarification of an offer is not rude or inadvisable, it is the [B]right[/B] thing to do in this situation. It is also in their interest that you know what the commitment you are making is. Otherwise they risk you accepting and reneging on it X months/years later. It would be very strange if, after you asked for clarification on the offer, they withdrew it. You have the right to know what you are signing up for! So in short, I think the team has given you some great advice here. But, based on what you have said, if it were me, I would be honest with the company and ask these questions/air these concerns with them directly. This is a mature, rational response to what is, as Jessica describes, a huge commitment if accepted. Hope that helps 😇 [/QUOTE]
