I am going from C to SC in a very short span of time in my career, assuming I accept a job offer. What are some major changes that I will face? WLB? Responsibility? Leading a team without concrete prior experience in leading? Will I survive in that role so young into my career?

You're not really "leading" a team as a SC in year 1 you may be leading a "work stream" or deliverable.

Big 4

Are you coming from another big 4? If so, it should be a breeze. If you are coming from elsewhere, be transparent about your past experience and align yourself with good Managers.

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...
