What is a "high-level conversation"?

Recently I was told by a potential interviewer for a job that we would be having a "high-level conversation" soon.

I assumed at the time that she just meant a conversation with a higher-up, e.g., her boss, but suddenly am not so sure.

So I'm curious. Have you heard that term before, and what does it mean?

Solution 1:

A high-level conversation is one where you discuss generalities instead of focusing on details.

Solution 2:

"High level" here normally refers to the status of the participants. When you read in the paper that "The US and Germany are holding high-level talks," the meaning is that these involve persons on both sides at the upper levels of government, up to and including the president, prime minister, etc.
