During Interviews (Public Accounting Firms) with 4 people ( 30 mins/person), what are the good questions I should ask? Or, any tips?

I am sure I cannot ask the same questions to each of them...lol

I really appreciate sharing your opinions or experiences!
Thank you!

My go to question I always try to ask is what is their favorite part about working at the company. It can really tell you a lot; their energy could shift, they could struggle to find something quickly, or they will be genuine and give a good vibe!

I decided last week to actively look to leave not only my job but my industry, and felt really good and positive about it. Today I've woken up feeling daunted and unsure about it.

Ive sat with it for a while and I think it's because - and some of you can rightfully get your tiny violins out here - I haven't actively applied for jobs since I was a grad. Every job I have had has come from connections or referrals, but now I'm actively putting myself out there, I feel vulnerable.

I recently had an interview with EY India for the role of a consultant. The first interview round was taken by a senior associate but the experience was pretty bad. They seemed completely disinterested in taking the interview right from the get go and seemed very impatient, did not let me complete my sentences and overall just gave me a bad vibe. To top that, the HR had told me the role I was going to be applying for but couldn't find the JD. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
