When I was early in the technical interview cycle, I found that if an interviewer offered to answer follow-up questions, I might look deeper into a topic they asked about that maybe I didn't know much about at the time. This way I could start a conversation about where I might find out more about that topic and why it is so important to the role I was interviewing for.

I love this advice. It can be so easy to feel like we have to say exactly the right things & seem perfect in an interview. But admitting we don't know & we're willing to ask is also a really important skill to have. Thanks for sharing.

Great advice here so far. I like to ask “What personal achievement are you most proud of and what were some key events that led up to it?” People love to talk about themselves 😊

like

What are some of the current challenges this role (and company) is facing?

What is the turn over rate like? (If it is high - ask them what are the reasons it’s so high and what have the company done to remedy that)

Has the company encounter any layoffs?

How has inflation affected the company and has the company take action in regards to they employee?

It's much better to ask questions based on the topics/questions previously discussed or asked. This way, your ability to connect with the interviewer will really stand out. Also, it will highlight your skill to pick relevant and important information.

What project or impact could I take on in the next 6 months that will drastically help the team?

What are examples of times I will be asked to step outside of the obligations of my position?

“What are 3 attributes / characteristics of someone who has been successful in (role)?”

You then reply to their answer with how you exemplify those 3 attributes / characteristics
