Got to the final round of interviews with the president and 2 cofounders of a technology platform startup - what questions should I ask during the interview?

How is their platform scalable? What is their exit strategy? How do they define their target market? Who are their customers and what’s their customer acquisition strategy? Where do their funding come from? Who are their main competitors and how are they differentiated? Would suggest you try answering some of these questions independently to help you dive deeper in their business

Is the company near union sq in NYC?

It’s at penn plaza

What does it take for one to be a rockstar there; what does excellence look like to them. If you were hired what is the most important thing you need to know on day one.

What is their financial position. You need to go in eyes wide open.

During the pandemic I lost my job and was desperate. I found a 5 month tax law internship to full hire and applied.
Description: “$20/hr to JDs, $15/hr to JD students”.
This was our convo.
Me: …I graduated from law school a few months ago…
Interviewer: so I’ll be paying you $15/hr if you’re hired… I’ll let you know in a week
Me (in no position to negotiate): umm… okay
*3 months later*
Interviewer: You’re hired! However it will now be an unpaid internship, are you still interested?
Me: *ghosts*

I’ve been working for a company for 25yrs, looking for advancement. I’m considered an SME, managing people, Vendors and working on large system conversions. Have provided long term goals. When requesting feedback I’m told I’m on the right path, no suggestions on what to improve. I asked about timelines for advancement and not being given anything concrete. Recently interviewed with another company as a Vendor Mgmt partner. Individual contributor, high visible position with potential. Thoughts?

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer.

There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
