Baited and switched during interview: WTF?

[suzzer99]

I would have been polite but firm that I'm not interested in the manager position. But I wouldn't have stormed out in a huff.

Don't be so sure about your recruiter not knowing. But it's certainly possible either way. My recruiter was very knowledgeable about programming, and seemed like a nice guy. But when push came to shove he turned into a used car salesman to get me into a job that wasn't a good fit. Then he quit the company a few months later. Thanks bud.
