Final interview with the ceo on Friday. The meeting invite says finance discussion instead of interview unlike the last interview meeting invites. Does this mean the ceo will offer me the job on the spot ?

CEO won’t ask you any technical accounting questions. Mostly because accountants don’t become CEOs so it’s highly unlikely they would know anything about it. They might ask you some common sense budgeting, forecasting questions, or give you a hypothetical based on their past experience or worst fears and ask you your view on navigating such instances. I’m assuming if you’re interviewing for controller, CFO type of position... no reason for CEO to interview a staff accountant

Had my 2nd interview with the hiring manager this past Friday & sent a thank you shortly after. It's now Tuesday (for those who see this on another day). At the end of the interview he said they've had other people who were interested but only one other person besides me were they considering. Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.

Thoughts on Steptoe & Johnson? Particularly DC office. Considering applying. Thanks!

Hello,fishes!(1YOE-SDET)
I'm trying to attend several interviews. My current CTC is <10LPA, therefore even if I switch jobs and am offered a package that is 40%–50% higher than my current CTC, my new income won't be much higher than 12LPA–13LPA. However, I am on the lookout for even better ones. So, if there is a negotiation, can I mention to HR that I already have an offer of at least 12 lpa and persuade them to give me more? Will this ruse succeed? Or will they demand to show an offer letter?
