I have a short conversation with my would-be manager today and plan to sign the offer letter shortly after. What questions would you ask?

For me, it’s really a gut check to make sure I can see a positive working relationship. My start date is Jan so I’m thinking mostly along the lines of what I can do to ramp up beforehand and hearing more about what exciting work is coming in 2023. What else would you want to know?

Ask about management style. I recently had an experience with a horrifically Type A micromanager. The type of person to literally look at Slack channels to see who’s bubbles weren’t green. Absolutely miserable.
