I don't see why it would be an issue. I've brought questions with me to almost all of my interviews in a notebook. I try and do research on the interviewers as well if I get their names ahead of time

Yes. Absolutely. It shows preparation, anticipation, and diligence. I once asked a question to a candidate on what they did to prepare for the interview. The girl opened her computer and showed a word document which had topics arranged by sections, details of all her prior rounds, and google / LinkedIn research details.
Needless to say, she was hired

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
