Good morning,

I’m seeking some advice about a job offer I received. I’ve been unemployed since February, and yesterday I was offered what seems like a dream job. It comes with a significant salary increase, an excellent 401K, and two yearly bonuses. However, during the interview, the hiring manager mentioned that six people have held the position over the past six years, and only one stayed long-term (she was promoted). This raised some red flags for me, so I asked why he thought others didn’t work out. He mentioned one employee was young and lacked a strong work ethic. The manager himself seems great—down to earth and open to hybrid work—but I’m still feeling uncertain. My last job was a difficult experience. Key responsibilities, like accounting which I have minimal experience, were not disclosed prior to my start date, even though they ended up being 90% of the role. After nine months, I was laid off, and I’m now dealing with anxiety and PTSD from that situation. My concern is that I’ll end up in a similar position again, and I don’t want to be the next person who doesn’t work out. My husband suggested I reach out to the hiring manager to discuss these concerns. I want to ensure this position is a good fit before accepting, but I’m unsure how to approach the conversation. Any advice on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
