How do you prepare for an internal vs external interview? Are you more relaxed for the internal one?

A little bit more relaxed for an internal interview since I already know a lot about the company and how things operate. External ones can be a bit more stressful since you never really know what you are getting into.

For an external interview, I have to spend more time researching the company. For an internal interview, I spend time making sure I can talk about the position I have been doing and my accomplishments in that position. I am definitely more relaxed for internal interviews because I have a good feel for the company culture and what kind of communication style they respond best to.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Adding this because I find this type of information helpful. Went through the interview process with Meta. They moved quick. Recruiter, hiring manager, and full loop all in a two week period. (I know this was fast because I’ve interviewed with Meta before and it was more like a month between hiring manager and full loop). I was told I would hear in 2 weeks or so on a decision. During this time I got another offer. I let meta know the update. Was told I was top pick but had to wait for…
