I would agree, once you are and they see you perform it makes it easier to move up. I like how you put people can fool you as I have seen that a few times, there has been a time or two where I was in the final interview and not picked, later to find out the person who was hired left after several months.1,000%: getting foot in the door is a real thing. Companies hate hiring. So much. It’s the worst part of every managers job for many reasons (people can fool you, they’re always at dynamic place in their lives, you always feel like a perfect fit is right around the corner, you’re worried about losing the headcount, it’s a massive, massive commitment every time in training, etc). But when you’re in—- promotions are not like the military. The company actually wants you to move up rapidly if you’re willing to make those trade offs. Faster the better. #1 talent pool is 0-2 years with the company: who are the horses? If the manager says there is a path with the role (ie it’s not “front desk”) you never ever turn that down at a great company.
My 2 cents only.
The one thing that always gets me is hiring managers that are looking for the perfect candidate, which is essentially the person that just left the job, HM's need to realize that trying to find a person that is exactly like the one that left isn't going to happen.
