Hi! I’m in the final rounds of interviewing at a company that seems super promising. I wanted to ask the community: what questions do you ask before or after an offer to gain a little more insight? I’m going to send them to HR, the head of creative, the potential manager, and strategy with whom I would work closely.

Final rounds before an offer should just be about thanking everyone that was a part of the final interview. As well as why you would love working there & what you bring. The final is more about a culture fit. Once, you receive an offer. That’s your time to get clarity etc. Just my opinion. Good luck 🍀

Benefits—which healthcare and dental, 401k, PTO, any special perks you’re interested in. See if you can also talk to a peer that closer to your level who can shed some light on culture and work/life balance.

Interesting how after an offer is made questions are recommended for “culture fit”.

So you’ll counter offer higher if the culture appears to have red flags?

It seems culture question would arise along the interview process, like when they ask if you have any questions, or maybe they didn’t open up the interaction to your questions (there’s a red flag right there).

Even though the employer appears to hold all the cards in this market, you will appear smart, thoughtful, knowing yourself and worth and serious about a good “fit” if you show interest in how things run, get handled, and managed, how folks advance, processes, etc in this place you may be hired at.

No questions along the way, especially as questions may arise naturally/organically as you learn about who’s interviewing you and how they frame a question or set up a scenario for you to respond to, may signal that it doesn’t matter to you, that you don’t mind as long as you get hired…happy to just have a job.

This may actually increase your chances of a lowball offer.

Better late than not at all, but culture should be on the table for discussion all along, for employers to assess your fit for them and for you to assess their fit for you.

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.
