Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager. Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.

HM's don't try to spend more time on candidates unless they're interested. Rejecting via email is fast, easy, and the norm.

It's possible there's a curveball... a different role they want to gauge your interest in for example. A re-org or hiring freeze could happen with the economy souring.

Probably not much point in guessing. Stay calm, confident, and clear about who you are and what you want so that any decision that emerges for you is not clouded by desperation.

I appreciate your reply. This makes sense. If there was no interest there would be no reason for an additional meeting at all. I will stay positive and see how it goes Tuesday. Maybe it will be a pleasant surprise! Have a great weekend!

Perhaps there were questions they couldn't get to in the last meeting so they want to get these in before a panel interview. Either way, good luck!

Thank you! It was a great meeting so I’m hoping you are right and there are follow ups and I get to move on to the panel!

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?
