Opinion on secondment

ive been in my company for 9 months .

The perfect secondment opportunity came up .

My manager said to meet the secondment manager.

However, my meeting didn't go well.

I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.

The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .

But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.

I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.

I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.

How do you determine if the secondment is right for you

    First, what is a secondment? Are you in the U.S.? Haven’t that term.

    Hi , it is a temporary transfer in your company where you can work with another department/team for a minimum of 6 months. It's normally to either upskill yourself or support a team who has less resources.
