I’m super excited. Finished interviewing over a month ago and today HR contacted me today saying that the hiring manager wants to speak with me about potentially joining the team and give me a chance to ask questions.

Please help me with what questions to ask. Thanks in advance!

I was in a similar situation where the opportunity was dragging with 3 rounds, not including the initial recruiter call and subsequent calls. When it was time for the final interview I flat out asked how many other candidates made it to the final round, and the recruiter said that it was just me. TMP1 offers good advice on what to ask in addition.

Ask questions on culture, management style, and basic things like that. I also put an emphasis on what success looks like in the role, what’s the on boarding process like. I really just try to make sure I know the role and what I’m signing up for. This all depends on your level as well.

Thanks! It’s a new team with only a few people right now but this is super helpful. I’m not good at knowing what questions to ask in these conversations

Do you guys think it’s ok to ask how urgent my starting is? I lose 22k in bonus if I start before end of year.

Is this an HR question or hiring manager question?

I want to be careful until I have offer in hand

I’ll add that, while other people may have passed on the role bc it’s not right for them, it could be right for you.

I passed on two roles recently - one was a great role but the comp for me was 🥜- but could have been good for someone a few years junior. The other role felt a little too culty / keep it in (organizational) family/ don’t trust outsiders/ stay until retirement no matter what… someone could be looking for that.

All I’m saying is, every answer they give you on why someone passed on the role doesn’t have to be a red flag for you.

So I really should ask if other people turned it down first and why? I feel like I won’t get honest answers either way

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

How do you count years of experience? Lets say you were a web master for 5 years. Then you transitioned into a proper UX role and did that for 5 years. Is that 10 years of experience or 5?
