Luke, is that you??

There’s no such thing as an “impressive” question. I’ve never once been impressed by a candidate’s question for me. Your interviewer has likely already heard every possible question you could ask; you’re not going to ask them something novel. You should ask what you’re actually curious about to get a better feel for the school. Plus, it’s fairly easy to tell when someone is asking a question just to ask versus when they actually care about the answer.

I recently got a job offer from a company I used to work for that has a great work/life balance and culture but has a slower track to get promoted.
