Getting a tour of an agency tomorrow.
I've done my due diligence and researched their clients, awards, culture, etc to ask question.

Any other tips or questions to ask?

Don’t say due diligence

Pay close attention as you walk around. Are people smiling? Are they busy? Look into your interviewers’ eyes. Is there still hope in them?

I would ask what other clients they'd like to have. Link yourself with their growth in their minds! Almost hint that you have leads but don't lie, just romance... Be 10% more excited than normal but pretend in your head you have an even hotter interview across town in an hour.

Should I stay at a company I know I like culture-wise when my manager said they will try to promote me, but with no guarantee. Or should I take a job offer I was given with a nice raise, but is in consulting at Slalom. I have not worked in consulting before. There is no travel with Slalom, but the idea of being the new person all the time isn’t too appealing. Less pay and known culture, or more pay unknown job satisfaction?

But I also feel bad being gatekeeper of things.
