Not uncommon AE1. Usually a second round in person practice and likely to serve as a chemistry check with a team.

OP just be ready to answer on management styles and conflict solving. Also, don’t be arrogant/prickish ;)
Good luck

Come prepared with thoughtful questions for them about what they need to feel supported and what your vision for the team is.

It’s a good thing. No one likes getting a new boss that they’ve never spoken to, and for a new boss you want to lay a foundation before you start.

The key is to listen and answer questions. Usually they will want to know what you are bringing to the table and how it will affect their work, or career growth. In terms of what you want to learn from them, they can give you a perspective on the daily challenges they deal with and their POV on the agency.

Usually, if you meeting with people who you’d supervise, then the job is yours. You just need to not wave any red flags but use the opportunity to establish an expectation when you start the gig.

Not uncommon at all - be yourself. be prepared for questions about supervision style. don’t be arrogant. think of it as more of a conversation than an interview.

you definitely should ask what their goals are, and how you can help achieve them. for example i interviewed with an AE who wanted to learn more about tv production, so i had her shadow me throughout the process.
also, most people are terrible interviewers so i would expect that you may be asking a few questions to the ae

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
