So I went from heading the copy team to being the manager today after the last two days of internal interviews. I'm so happy, but I have to admit I was pretending I knew what it takes, so I don't lose the opportunity, and now I'm freaking out. Has anyone else done this? Am I right to think I'll figure it out on the go, or am I throwing myself in the deep end?

You'll be ok. Think about what kind of boss you'd wanna work for and then be that boss. As far as operational things you don't know, you can always reframe things "I know how I would do it but show me best practice."

Had my 2nd interview with the hiring manager this past Friday & sent a thank you shortly after. It's now Tuesday (for those who see this on another day). At the end of the interview he said they've had other people who were interested but only one other person besides me were they considering. Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.
