Any suggestions for interview questions to ask a first-time manager? I’m applying for a potential role, and the Hiring Manager (potential boss who I would report to) has never had any direct reports. I’m not sure what to ask them to find out if they would be a micromanager or a bad boss. The questions that I’ve seen online all start with “Tell me about a time when …” but there are no such times!

Can you afford to let this opportunity go? If so, re: micromanagement, I’d just be candid and say the type of working style you have, give an example and then ask for their thoughts on it. E.g. The value I bring is being autonomous and pragmatic so, if there’s a question, what’s worked in the past has been that I triage the issue, do my research and make a judgment call (looping in others if I think necessary). What do you think about that style on your team?

Hi all,

Need some advice on my next career move. I'm 31, have an MBA and am currently a SC in Risk Advisory with no M&A experience. I am good at risk consulting work but don't find it very challenging or interesting. That said, I expect to get promoted to M next year.

Recently, I interviewed with another Big 4 firm for SC in CDD M&A team and have got an offer. I enjoyed doing the CDD case study, and I believe I'd do well in the role.

Does it make sense to start afresh in M&A at this stage?
