I’ve recently interviewed for an EA/Special Assistant role to CEO, VC and then f2f with the CEO, plus also met current EA. CEO has just returned from 3 weeks leave this Monday and EA has been in touch to let me know “CEO would like to find another time to speak with me this Friday” - We had discussed salary, start date and intro’d me to others in office but CEO also asked if I would find role limiting so unsure what to expect… 30 mins video call in for Friday. Thoughts on what to expect?

Sounds like they're afraid you're overqualified and /or the kind of work you find rewarding won't be a big part of what they have you doing. It could also be that your past roles gave you more decision making power or autonomy or something that this role won't. So they'll likely be digging into that more during this conversation. They won't want to hire someone who's not going to be happy in the job.

Yea probably them thinking you may not be satisfied with long term trajectory of the role, probably just want to make sure you’re still enthusiastic about them/the role after your previous convos

(1) I recently interviewed for a senior auditor position at a company and hadn’t heard back from them so I followed up. The recruiter’s response was that I was still being considered for the position but the team had moved forward with other candidates that were better suited due to their experience. The recruiter also said that they enjoyed my interview but the team felt I needed a bit more work experience and that they would reach out if they would like to move forward with me.
