Does anyone else feel the pressure to keep asking questions when in an interview? It sometimes feels hard to say you've asked everything you need to know, especially when the prospective employer keeps asking if I have any more...

I don't. I have 3-4 questions prepared that I know will take a decent amount of time to get through. Once they've been answered, I don't see the need to ask any more.

I have to tell them I asked plenty already. I'm finished asking questions.

If I feel like I've found out what I want to know I just stop asking questions. I always figure that anything that goes on an in interview is some kind of calculated test. So I wouldn't want to look like I was wasting anyone's time with questions that didn't seem too important.

I tend to ask the same questions unless they’re answered in an interview. Each one is actually important.

1. Why is this role vacant? How was the person before me in this role like? What made them leave?

2. What qualities do you value most in your employees and how do you track success in the position?

3. What projects are you currently working on and how would this role fit into them?

4. What would my team look like if I got this role? What are their backgrounds? Or more specifically, what skillsets do my potential coworkers have that I would be able to supplement?

This is like 10-12 questions. Do you really ask this many? I feel self-conscious taking up this much time, or asking so many questions within questions. Curious how this amount of questions goes for you normally though because maybe I need to just ask as many questions as I want.

I don’t feel pressured to ask more questions. You should ask relevant questions pertaining to the job that they may have missed. Like when would start date be? What kind of tasks would you need me to do? What does growth look like in your job after 5 years

Yes, they keep asking me to ask more questions. I'm just like why at that point... 😩 I've had enough!

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

Has anyone successfully made the career move from an HR specialization to an HRBP role? If so, how? I have been working for 7 years in a very niche HR specialization and while I wear many hats on the HR team, I feel like this is hard to express to recruiters or even get an interview for an HRBP role. My niche area has really burnt me out, as it’s very political and I want to expand my horizons. I am already working on completing my GPHR certification. Any other tips?
