I thankfully still have an interview scheduled for an in-house AD role. How do I diplomatically find out from the hiring manager (who’s the head of brand) how much creative leeway i’m gonna get?

If it’s not going to make a difference whether you accept the job, then don’t ask. We are on the cusp of a huge recession. Don’t rock the boat with such a question.

Ask about priorities and what their goals are for the team for the year. I usually find this helps get a sense. (New projects, ideas, focus for 2020, etc.) But agree with CD1 otherwise.

Find a more delicate way to phrase the question without sounding like you're putting your ego ahead of the client/agency. Maybe make it about your enthusiasm to win the agency awards.

You could ask for a rundown of what a “typical project” is like there, and fish for “so, someone in my position would get to___/would be responsible for___/has the freedom to___/etc”

But ... I agree with CD1; only ask if it’s going to actually change your decision.

I’d be hoping to learn a lot from them, as they would be pretty much be all of my day-to-day interactions and team. I’ve received an offer but have asked for another convo as I’m still unsure on culture, WLB and training etc as it’s a new team so no other people in comparable roles to talk to.

I applied and got a position for aws . I got an offer and asked some questions. I didn't get a reply, from multiple individuals. Two weeks later received a phone call that my recruiter was let go and I was in limbo essentially, they said they'd get in touch with me closer to the timeline we discussed and they were sorry about the mixup. I called back the person to get more information (since I was running errands) and nothing again. No response and no other way to contact this person. Ideas?
