Yeah, no. Well, perhaps if the role is just to manage it becomes somewhat relevant, but I have personally never experienced this in any interview (and have been in people manager roles for the past twenty years, at companies including F500 industrial, FAANG, and consulting).



I have had management roles and been interviewed for management roles many times.

There hasn't been single interview where "what is the largest headcount you've managed" wasn't conspicuously asked.
