Years ago I had in wasted interview because a well known financial institution had an internal system named after a particular type of financial product which it later became clear it had zero relation to. Despite flagging concerns regarding an apparent mismatch, the recruiter said my experience was perfect. I went along and within minutes of getting past the intros and onto the role specifics, it was clear it was a waste of time. Multiple red flags there for me: much as I back myself and have a strong CV, it was concerning my CV got past their basic screening for what they should have known was an inappropriate role. I blacklisted the recruiter and found another job through word of mouth soon after (a much better method where possible).
