Also, like your job enough that you don't have to leave it to take the new one. In other words, be comfortable enough that you are talking from a place of confidence and *you* are the one assessing whether the company is the right one for you - not the company deciding whether you are right.

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.
