Initially talked to a recruitment staff, who validated my interest, availability and basic competency for the position. After that, met with the hiring manager in an informal setting. After the usual intro, that person went on explaining the history of the company, as well as the detailed roles, responsibilities and challenges involved with the position. Once a good overall picture was painted, he proceeded to ask how I saw myself in that situation, if I was up to the challenge and interested to go forward, and what would be my salary expectations. We then met a second time to go a bit further in our discussion and clarify certains questions on both sides. We finalized the last details over the phone and proceeded to receive an offer which I accepted.
